An anchor into the microwaves: A directing effect on the orientation of the manganese(III) salen complexes towards the activated carbon surface was activated by using microwave‐assisted anchoring. The immobilization procedure is simple, energy efficient, and fast. The resulting materials are unusually active and selective heterogeneous catalysts for the epoxidation of styrene.
