11. Opposite behaviour is found when the coordinating functions are on different rings. In such cases, the wider bite angle associated with the ruthenocene generally brings the ligand chirality into closer proximity to any coordinated substrate, with an associated increase in ee.

34. To the best of our knowledge, the only available datum concerns a palladium-catalysed hydrosilylation of 5,5-dimethyl-1-hexene-3-yne using complex atropomeric monodentate monophosphametallocene ligands. In this case, the phosphaferrocene gave a better ee (84%) than the phospharuthenocene (75%).[24]

54. It could reasonably be argued that the nature of the comparison between a rac-sample of 18 and enantiopure 19 might lead to the observed differences in molecular structures, but this hypothesis becomes much less tenable once it is recognised that the differences between the structures of rac-18 and enantiopure (+)-24 complexes are minuscule.

58. 2, which shows improved stability and performance in allylic isomerisation reactions, has also been characterised structurally. Its torsional angle data are much closer to those of the phospharuthenocene complex 19 than to 24.[18,19]

60. The superior phospharuthenocene performance was also carried through (albeit with attenuation) into a study of the hydrogenation of dimethylitaconate, for which an ee of 90% was found in favour of the (R)-product for 19; 87 % for 18.
