Significance
Chiral covalent organic cages (CCOC-1 and 2) were prepared from 5,10-di(3,5-diformylphenyl)-5,10-dihydrophenazine and (1R,2R)-cyclohexanediamine according to equation 1. A CCOC–Ni(OAc)2 complex, generated in situ, promoted the enantioselective Michael addition of 2-acetylazaarenes with E-nitroalkenes in the presence of DIPEA to afford the corresponding Michael adducts in up to 94% yield with 96:4 er (eq 2).

Comment
CCOCs were characterized by means of NMR measurements, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF-MS, SEM, XRD, PXRD, XANES, EXAFS and UV/Vis. In the enantioselective Michael addition of 1-(5-chloro-2-pyridinyl)ethenone with E-β-nitrostyrene, the CCOC-2-Ni(OAc)2 complex was recovered and reused four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity and enantioselectivity (5th run; >78% yield, 93:7 er).
