Catalytic asymmetric coordination chemistry is made possible by chirality transfer from an organic ligand with sulfur‐centered chirality to a chiral‐at‐metal octahedral ruthenium complex. E. Meggers and co‐workers describe in their Communication on page 7955 ff. how ( S )‐2‐(isopropylsulfinyl)phenol and a more electron‐rich methoxy derivative are capable of inducing and even catalyzing a chirality‐generating trans – cis isomerization of two 2,3′‐bipyridine ligands in the ligand sphere of a ruthenium complex.
