Fig. 4: Schematic of strained catalyst-containing materials and response of supported catalysts to straining.
From: Strain-dependent enantioselectivity in mechanochemically coupled catalytic hydrogenation
a,b, Bottom: change in enantioselectivity of hydrogenation as a function of stretching strain (a) and compressing strain (b) of N1·Rh and N1con·Rh. Top: schematic of network catalyst activity before and after stretching (a) and compressing (b). The ‘Relax’ designation indicates that the enantioselectivity returns to its initial value when the strain is removed. Data are shown as mean ± s.d., with n = 3 biologically independent replicates per condition. Each replicate corresponds to a separately prepared batch of polymer support. Uncertainty in strain is ±2%. Source data are available from figshare60.
