Chiral ligands

Chiral ligands are molecules that can attach to metals in chemical reactions, and they have a property called "chirality," meaning they exist in two mirror-image forms, like left and right hands. When these ligands bind to metals, they influence how chemical reactions occur, often making them more selective or efficient. This is especially important in synthesizing drugs and complex molecules where precise control over the outcome is crucial. Chiral ligands help create specific molecular arrangements, leading to desired products with high purity, which is vital in pharmaceuticals and advanced materials.
