Key Ideas:

The devel­op­ment of stere­os­e­lec­tive cat­alyt­ic sys­tems is one of the key prob­lems of mod­ern phys­i­cal chem­istry. Design­ing of the spe­cial ori­ent­ing cov­er­ing on the cat­a­lyst sur­face, which will­guide the reac­tion in the right way, with the only one of stereoiso­mers, might be one of the approach­es to solve this prob­lem. The work is devot­ed to the the­o­ret­i­cal design of such cov­er­ings and ver­i­fi­ca­tion of their ori­ent­ing action in the adsorp­tion of chi­ral com­pounds.

Using meth­ods:

DFT, DFTB, semi-empir­i­cal.
