The activation of a substrate by a chiral catalyst is now regarded as one of the most powerful
strategies that can be employed in the art of asymmetric synthesis. 1 The development of …

Chiral cations have been used extensively as organocatalysts, but their application to
rendering transition metal–catalyzed processes enantioselective remains rare. This is …

Chiral salen–metal complexes are among the most versatile asymmetric catalysts and have
found utility in fields ranging from materials chemistry to organic synthesis. These complexes …

Since the start of this millennium, remarkable progress in the binding and sensing of anions
has been taking place, driven in part by discoveries in the use of hydrogen bonding, as well …

Supramolecular catalysis is a rapidly expanding discipline which has benefited from the
development of both homogeneous catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. The properties …

Recently, the use of enantiomerically pure counteranions for the induction of asymmetry in
