1. INTRODUCTION The catalysis of organic reactions by metals still constitutes one of the
most useful and powerful tools in organic synthesis. 1 Although asymmetric synthesis is …

Metallosalen complexes are able to catalyze several transformations via a bimetallic,
cooperative pathway. Various strategies to induce simultaneous activation by two metal …

The most relevant results published from 2006 up to 2010 are reported; they especially
