Designing armory : The side‐arm‐modified In‐TOX/Ni II complex was identified as a highly efficient and stereoselective catalyst for the [3+3] cycloaddition of aromatic azomethine imines with cyclopropanes (see picture). Density functional calculations and control experiments revealed that the directing effect of the side arm through π interactions is crucial to the stereochemical control.
