Abstract

Abstract: A novel supramolecular catalyst functioning according to the principles of enzymatic catalysis is described. It consists of a basket-shaped molecule to which a catalytically active Rh (1) complex is attached. The catalyst selectively hydrogenates and isomerizes allyl-substituted dihydroxyarene substrates that are bound in its cavity. The reactivity of this supramolecular catalyst and its affinity for several substrates is compared ...
