Coordination-induced axial chirality controls the metal-centred configuration in a stereogenic-at-iron catalyst

Chem. Commun., 2025, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D4CC06227B, Communication Benedikt Buchberger, Nemrud Demirel, Xiulan Xie, Sergei I. Ivlev, Eric Meggers A new approach is introduced to control the metal-centred configuration of stereogenic-at-iron catalysts by utilizing axial ligand chirality, which becomes locked upon metal coordination.
