Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

A catalytic system comprising functionalized small diamides and rare earth metals (REs) exerts intriguing catalytic properties that are dictated by dynamic construction of flexible molecular spaces. The dynamic interaction of diamides and REs is characterized by broad applicability to distinct reaction systems as well as notable switchable catalysis. Structural modification of the diamide allows for enhanced intermolecular interactions to afford a self-assembled solid-phase catalyst with a specific molecular space that engages in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis with a continuous-flow platform.
