title: Rate enhancement of hexose sugar oxidation on an ethynylpyridine-functionalized Pt/Al2O3 catalyst with induced chirality.
abstract: Rate enhancement of the selective oxidation of hexoses was achieved on an ethynylpyridine (EPy)-functionalized Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. Host-guest interaction between the EPy ligand and a hexose sugar reactant produced a complex with induced chirality on the catalyst surface.
