No metal–substrate interactions : A transition‐metal complex of a primary amine can serve as an efficient bifunctional metal–ligand catalyst that functions without direct interaction of the metal and the substrate. The example shows the transition‐state structure of the enantioselective reduction of acetophenone at the molecular surface of a ruthenium hydride complex bearing a diamine with one free NH 2 group (O red, Ru green, N blue).
