title: Enantiopure C1-symmetric bis(imino)pyridine cobalt complexes for asymmetric alkene hydrogenation.
abstract: Enantiopure C(1)-symmetric bis(imino)pyridine cobalt chloride, methyl, hydride, and cyclometalated complexes have been synthesized and characterized. These complexes are active as catalysts for the enantioselective hydrogenation of geminal-disubstituted olefins.
