title: Unexpectedly superior enantioselectivity for trans-stilbene cis-dihydroxylation over anchored triosmium carbonyl species in confined Al-MCM-41 channels.
abstract: Superior enantioselectivity in the dihydroxylation of trans-stilbene catalysed by anchored triosmium carbonyl species without using a chiral modifier is observed inside sterically congested MCM-41 channels; this effect is more pronounced through the introduction of surface Al sites into the silicate.
