Abstract

The use of chiral ligand-modified metal nanoparticles is a promising strategy for constructing active and robust asymmetric catalyst systems. A recent advance in such catalyst systems for C−C bond-forming reactions is highlighted, and the characteristics of the active species are discussed. Several studies suggested that a redox event between nanoparticles and reagents might be a key to generating active species from nanoparticles.
