Caught in a pincer : A chiral, imidazolidine‐derived NCN‐type palladium pincer complex has been prepared using a ligand introduction technique. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of this complex showed a well‐organized asymmetric sphere. The neutral palladium/chloride version exhibited significant catalytic activity for the reaction of nitroalkenes with malononitrile to give products in a highly enantioselective manner (see scheme).
