[Ru(2)(μ-O(2)CCH(3))(4)(MeOH)(2)](PF(6)) reacts with chiral diphosphines (R,R)- and (S,S)-chiraphos, leading to disassembly and production of the enantiomers Λ-[Ru(η(2)-O(2)CCH(3))(η(2)-(R,R)-chiraphos)(2)](PF(6)) and Δ-[Ru(η(2)-O(2)CCH(3))(η(2)-(S,S)-chiraphos)(2)](PF(6)) in high yield and purity. X-ray crystallography and solid-state circular dichroism (CD) show that only the indicated isomers are present in the solid state. Solution CD measurements also indicate their predominance in solution.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have created decanuclear chiral gold(I) sulfido clusters (S-Au and R-Au) using specialized SDP ligands.
- Mixing these chiral clusters in a 1:1 ratio yields an achiral heterodimer icosanuclear meso-cluster (meso-Au), which exhibits intense near-infrared luminescence with a peak at around 750 nm.
- The study highlights the significant increase in photoluminescence quantum yield for meso-Au (25%) compared to the chiral clusters (8%), and shows that the clustering process is influenced by solvent polarity and diphosphine ligand configuration, aiding the understanding of self-sorting in chiral assemblies.

Chiral diphosphines with a biphenyl bridge and the chirality borne by the phosphorus atoms and not due to the atropoisomery of the biaryl backbone have been scarcely studied. Herein, we report the asymmetric synthesis of the (,)-2,2'-bis(ferrocenylphenylphosphino)biphenyl (BipheP*) ligand and its application in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation. The synthesis was based on the enantioselective preparation of P-chirogenic ferrocenyl(-bromophenyl)phenylphosphine by the reaction of -phosphine-borane with 1,2-dibromobenzene and its homocoupling into BipheP*.

The transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of ketones to produce enantioenriched alcohols is an important reaction in organic chemistry with applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields. Using earth-abundant, biorelevant cobalt as the central metal in the catalyst has a high potential to improve sustainability and achieve hydrogenation reactions that are scalable. However, due to the high d-electron count, designing cobalt catalysts that exhibit turnover numbers (TONs, ≥1000) and enantioselectivities (≥90%) sufficient for synthetic utility and practical scalability (≥1 kg scale) remains a challenge.

The first example of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from a molecular americium (Am) complex is reported. Coordination of Am(III) by a combination of thenoyltrifluoroacetonate and a chiral diphosphine oxide ligand yielded a complex with strong sensitized metal-centered luminescence. The energy transfer process for sensitization appears to occur via a unique resonant pathway, which results in the removal of the overlap between ligand phosphorescence and sensitized Am luminescence that has often been observed.
