Abstract

In spite of not yet being a common method, asymmetric catalysis through the coordination sphere of a metal complex is becoming increasingly used. In this type of catalysis, the reaction takes place in the ligands alone, while the metal centre behaves simply as an assembly point, building the correct geometry but without direct participation in the reaction mechanism. This may consequently be said to involve organocatalysis structured around a metal. In this paper, we will discuss some notable examples from the literature on the subject, including our own work.

Keywords: Asymmetric catalysis, coordination sphere, self-assembly.
