Facile synthesis of 3D flower-like SiO2-MOF architecture with copper oxide as copper source for enantioselective capture

A facile self-template synthetic approach for the facile synthesis of 3D flower-like SiO2-CuLBH architecture with copper oxide as copper source has been demonstrated. The resulting composite as sorbent showed a certain selective separation capability for phenyl methyl sulfoxide enantiomers (PMS) with an enantiomeric excess (ee) value of 31%.
