• Categorization of CSPs based on their structural motifs (Pirkle-type, ligand exchange, amino acid-derived, symmetric).
• Analysis of applications in asymmetric organic synthesis and chiral separations.

Main Results:

• Amino alcohols serve as key starting materials for diverse CSPs.
• Significant progress has been made in Pirkle-type, ligand exchange, and α-amino acid-derived CSPs.
