Metal‐templated organocatalysis : The enantioselective formation of an all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter is catalyzed by the ligand sphere of an inert bis‐cyclometalated iridium complex (see picture). In this complex, the metal‐centered chirality serves as the sole source for the effective asymmetric induction.
