TL;DR: Density functional theory (DFT) calculations allow us to conclude that the most important doublet feature in the VCD spectra is associated with a clear vibrational exciton structure located on the two dissymmetrically disposed phenylpyridine ligands.

TL;DR: In this article, the rhodium(I) complexes of these phosphines act as efficient homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts at ambient temperature and pressures for dehydro N-acetyl amino acids, N-benzoyl amino acids and itaconic acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the DANTE technique and NOESY two-dimensional method have been employed to observe the isomerization of the chiral cationic complex [Pd(η 3 -CH 2 CMeCH 2 (P-P′)] + (1a ), where P-p′ = the CH chiral chelating ligand (S )( N -diphenylphosphino)(2-diphosphinoxymethyl)pyrrolidine.

TL;DR: Aqua iridium(III) complexes with 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines CAMPY L1 and its derivatives as chiral ligands proved to be very efficient catalysts for the reduction of a wide range of prochiral aryl ketones, revealing a variety of behaviours in terms of reaction rate and stereoselectivity as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, simple unsymmetrical 1,3-diamines were studied and different approaches of synthesis were applied to the same backbone to study both the steric and electronic effects of the ligands.
