Abstract
Bidentate (η6-arene) tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes can serve as efficient ligands and ligand precursors for various (transition) metals. Such complexes can be employed as catalysts in asymmetric catalytic synthesis such as chiral hydrogenations, reductions, heterofunctionalisations and C-C bond formations. Within this article, the stereochemical and electronic properties of these compounds are summarised and discussed in relation with the respective catalytic reaction for which they have been applied.
