Subsequently, several research groups including Lin, Rosseinsky, Xiong, Fedin and others have designed and synthesized several homochiral porous metal-organic materials capable of enantioselective sorption of chiral organic molecules, which are listed in Table 1. 

We list in Table 2 a few of the systems that have been reported in the recent literature to show metal complexes supported on amorphous, non-porous oxides. We also include a few recent reports on the decorating of mesoporous supports with metal complexes. Complexes have also been introduced into porous, crystalline oxides as well as placed on organic supports." We reported the use of metal complexes as templates for forming familiar crystalline solids and new crystalline materials, some of them adopting the chirality of the metal complex. " Preparations have appeared recently using dinuclear Pd(II) complexes [Pd2Me2Cl2(dppm)2] as the precursor and these were reacted with a silica surface to produce the grafted dinuclear Pd complex with the elimination of methane from the complex. ...
