Invoking confinement effects of microporous heterogeneous systems have analogs with homogeneous catalysts, including biological, supramolecular, and transition metal complexes. Using this as a tool has led to the improvement of reactivity and selectivity in homogeneous catalysis, including asymmetric catalysis. This symposium will address ways to rationally control selectivity, particularly with the emergence of new physical organic tools, experimental automation capabilities, computation, and data science opens new avenues to harness confinement more effectively for reaction design and optimization in homogeneous systems. Topics include but are not limited to: (1) confinement-enabled asymmetric catalysis, with new reaction development (2) physical organic study to probe the reaction mechanism and rationalize outcome (3) building new computation, data science, and ML tool to inform reactivity/selectivity.
