TL;DR: The synthesis and application of three examples of a new class of chiral (C(2)) atropisomeric diphosphines characterized by two interconnected five-membered heteroaromatic rings, with hindered rotation around the interanular bond, are described.

TL;DR: The four-step straightforward synthesis of enantiopure (+)- and (-)-2,2',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-bis-(diphenylphoshino)-3,3'-bithiophene (tetraMe-BITIOP), a new C2-symmetry chelating ligand for transition metals, is described, starting from 2,5-dimethylthiophene.

TL;DR: In this article, two chiral atropisomeric biheteroaromatic diphosphines are described: 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-bibenzimidazole (3a) and 3,3′-dimethyl-1, 1.1.

TL;DR: Ruthenium(II) dichloride complexes with (+)- and (−)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′,6,6′-tetramethyl-3,3′-bibenzo[b]thiophene (1a), new chiral atropisomeric heterocyclic ligands, reduce α- and β-oxoesters to α-and β-hydroxyesters with an enantiomeric purity comparable, if not higher, to that reported for

TL;DR: The synthesis and properties of uranyl complexes with tetradentate ligands of formula UO 2 (saldiamine) are discussed in this article, where electronic and circular dichroism spectra are also discussed.
