TL;DR: These assemblies show increased catalytic activity in the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction and rhodium-Catalyzed hydroformylation and M=transition metal catalyst.

TL;DR: New approaches to transition metal catalyst development that evolve from a combination of supramolecular strategies and rational ligand design are described, which may offer transition metal catalysts for future applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a homogeneous transition-metal complex [Rh(A)CO]- (1+), in which A is N-(3-trimethoxysilane-n-propyl)-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)phenoxazine, was prepared both via the sol−gel process and by covalent anchoring to silica.

TL;DR: The enantioselective outcome of transfer hydrogenation reactions that are catalysed by ruthenium(II) amino alcohol complexes was studied by means of a systematically varied series of ligands and it was found that both the substituent at the 1-position in the 2-amino-1-alcohol ligand and the substitution at the amine functionality influence the enantiOSElectivity of the reaction to a large extent.

TL;DR: Regio- and enantioselective hydroformylation of styrenes is attained upon embedding a chiral Rh complex in a nonchiral supramolecular cage formed from coordination-driven self-assembly of macrocyclic dipalladium complexes and tetracarboxylate zinc porphyrins.
