Like the asymmetry of a weathercock allows it to show the direction of the wind, the asymmetry of the cyclopentadienyl ligand in a planar‐chiral rhodium complex allows it to direct catalytic C−H activation reactions to selectively give one enantiomer of the product. In their Communication on page 7714 ff., D. S. Perekalin and co‐workers employ this catalyst in enantioselective reactions of aryl hydroxamic acids with strained alkenes.
