A light in dark places : The discovery of catalysts that can both promote photochemical reactions and control their stereochemistry has been regarded as a central challenge in photochemical synthesis for several decades. The discovery of chiral‐at‐metal complexes that seem particularly successful in this context is an exciting new development that may provide a general solution to this long‐standing problem.
