Transfer of chirality from ligands to metal centers: recent examples

Abstract

Recent examples of “chiral at metal” complexes and assemblies that are produced by chirality transfer of information from enantiopure ligands to metal ions are reported. They highlight the new progress that has been made in this area in the last two years and the new tendencies that such a topic is following. Besides the fundamental aspects related to the stereoselective synthesis of chiral complexes, the progress in diverse classes of chiral complexes for applications in materials science (chiral switches and molecular machines, biological mimics, CPL probes, etc.) is reported.
