The enantioselective creation of helical chirality (Delta/Lambda in octahed
ral complexes is of crucial importance for applications in organic synthese
s (enantioselective transition metal catalysts) as well as in bioinorganic
chemistry (Delta/Lambda biological recognition). This paper presents some s
elected examples depicting the controlled enantioselective formation of OC-
