Inversion of product selectivity in an enzyme-inspired metallosupramolecular tweezer catalyzed epoxidation reaction.

ABSTRACT: This study describes a heteroligated, hemilabile Pt(II)-P,S tweezer coordination complex that combines a chiral Jacobsen-Katsuki Mn(III)-salen epoxidation catalyst with an amidopyridine receptor, which leads to an inversion of the major epoxide product compared to catalysts without a recognition group.
