This perspective describes recent progress in asymmetric catalysis with chiral only-at-metal complexes displaying Delta/Delta enantiomorphs in the absence of central chirality within the ligands, with an emphasis on Ir(III) and Rh(III) systems. The good selectivity achieved when using these complexes in asymmetric catalysis has been demonstrated in asymmetric transformations through various mechanisms, including hydrogenbond donor-acceptor, secondary amine or Bronsted base hydrogen-bond donor bifunctional catalysis, Lewis acid and photoredox catalysis under mild reaction conditions. This perspective highlights the widening field of chiral-at-metal catalysis and presents a selection of asymmetric transformations which have been successfully carried out using them.
