As the potential for ruthenium‐catalyzed reactions other than hydrogenation increases, the importance of asymmetric complexes grows. With the aid of molecular modeling, four classes of novel ruthenium( II ) complexes with chiral bidentate cyclopentadienylphosphine ligands were designed and tested for asymmetric induction in a ruthenium‐catalyzed reconstructive addition (see figure).
