Direct observation of enantioselective synergism at trimetallic centers.
[structure: see text] [structure: see text] New oligomeric chiral macrocyclic ligands have been synthesized using an efficient self-assembly method. High enantioselective cooperativity in the catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions was directly observed using the conceptually novel chiral multinuclear complex catalysts.
