Role of entropy in supramolecular photochirogenesis: enantiodifferentiating photoisomerization of cyclooctenes in chiral sensitizer-immobilized MCM-41 cavities†‡
Abstract
To examine the effects of confinement, or low-entropy environments, we employed the mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified with optically active benzenetetracarboxylates as chiral reaction media to effect the enantiodifferentiating photoisomerization of
