title: Mn-salen@MIL101(Al): a heterogeneous, enantioselective catalyst synthesized using a 'bottle around the ship' approach.
abstract: An enantioselective catalyst, consisting of a chiral Mn(III)salen complex entrapped in the MIL-101 metal organic framework, is reported. For the first time, we assemble a robust MOF-cage around a chiral complex. The heterogeneous catalyst shows the same selectivity as the homogeneous complex and is fully recyclable. Theoretical calculations provide insight into this retention of selectivity.
