title: Remarkable axial ligand effect on regioselectivity towards terminal alkenes in epoxidation of dienes by a robust manganese porphyrin.
abstract: With a highly encumbered manganese porphyrin as catalyst, significant improvements in regioselectivity towards less substituted C-C double bond in diene epoxidation were attained by simply adding organic bases as axial ligand.
