Carriers chemical heterogeneity effect

In syntheses of fine chemicals, heterogeneously catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenations have been gradually developing into a topic of great interest over the past few years, as enantiomerically pure substances are required in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry and food technology. For these purposes, chirally modified metal/carrier catalysts have been used, but the effect of the catalytic system is little known [1-8].
