Three enantiopure dirhodium tetracarboxylates are compared in their NMR properties to differentiate chiral ligands of various kinds ( dirhodium method ). The complex with four ( S )‐2‐methoxy‐2‐(1‐naphthyl) propionate (MαNP) residues ( Rh2) is slightly better for strong donors than the complex with four Mosher acid anions ( Rh1 ), but it is inferior for weak donors. On the other hand, the dirhodium tetracarboxylate complex with four ( S )‐ N ‐phthaloyl‐( S )‐ tert .‐leucinate residues ( Rh3 ) is generally more effective than Rh1 . These results are explained by the estimated conformational behavior of the substituents within the equatorial acid residues and the anisotropy (ring‐current) effect of aryl groups.
