Abstract

Atropisomerism resulting from hindered rotation about single bonds can lead to molecules with centers of axial chirality and are widely used in asymmetric catalytic synthesis. 1 Molecules containing planar centers of chirality have also been used as chiral ligands, particularly those containing η6-benzene and η5-cyclopentadienyl complexes. 2 To our knowledge, there are no known synthetic methods that produce both types of chiral ...
