title: Monovalent chiral-at-copper complexes: halide-controlled diastereoselectivity.
abstract: An unusual example of diastereoselectivity has been observed in Cu(κ(3)-P,C,P'-1)X complexes where 1 is an asymmetric tridentate ligand containing a bicyclic NHC framework and X is a halide. When X is Cl(-), the S(Cu) isomer is formed selectively whereas when X = I(-) the R(Cu) diastereomer is preferred.
