C-H bond activation in transition metal species from a computational perspective
TL;DR: The reactivity of pMMO has been explored by Chan,525 by means of DFT calculations on small models of Figure 116 and nonradical mechanism proposed in the Yoshizawa model of sMMO.

Redox-active ligands in catalysis
Oana R. Luca,Robert H. Crabtree +1 more
TL;DR: Odd-electron, redox-active ligands are discussed in the context of catalysis and their participation in catalytic processes and related stoichiometric transformations are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme Mimics Based Upon Supramolecular Coordination Chemistry
TL;DR: This Review focuses on structures inspired by properties and functions observed in enzymes rather than precise models of enzyme active sites, which allow one to tailor the size, shape, and properties of the resulting complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proton-mediated chemistry and catalysis in a self-assembled supramolecular host.
TL;DR: This work provides rare examples of assembly-catalyzed reactions that proceed with substantial rate accelerations despite the absence of functional groups in the cavity and with mechanisms fully elucidated by quantitative kinetic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular catalysis. Part 1: non-covalent interactions as a tool for building and modifying homogeneous catalysts.
TL;DR: In this review, special attention will be given to supramolecular catalysts for which the observed catalytic activity and/or selectivity have been imputed to non-covalent interaction between the reaction partners.

TL;DR: This work has shown that highly porous frameworks held together by strong metal–oxygen–carbon bonds and with exceptionally large surface area and capacity for gas storage have been prepared and their pore metrics systematically varied and functionalized.

TL;DR: Metal-organic framework (MOF-5), a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn-O-C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its three-dimensional porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups and can be expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl.

Rod packings and metal-organic frameworks constructed from rod-shaped secondary building units.
TL;DR: The inclusion properties of the most open members are presented as evidence that MOF structures with rod building blocks can indeed be designed to have permanent porosity and rigid architectures.

A Homochiral Porous Metal−Organic Framework for Highly Enantioselective Heterogeneous Asymmetric Catalysis
TL;DR: Control experiments with dendritic aromatic aldehydes of different sizes indicate that the heterogeneous asymmetric catalyst derived from 1 is both highly active and enantioselective as a result of the creation of readily accessible, uniform active catalyst sites inside the porous MOF.
