Carbon materials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, serve as effective supports for catalysts and play a pivotal role in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis due to their unique properties and ability to create defined environments for catalytic reactions. Recent research has focused on developing novel carbon-based catalysts that combine the advantages of heterogeneous catalysis with enhanced stability and reusability. This review highlights the synthesis and catalytic applications of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes as heterogeneous support materials in asymmetric organocatalytic and organometallic reactions, covering their mechanisms, efficiency, and potential for advancing sustainable chemical processes.
