Umicore Precious Metals Chemistry - Chemicals and Catalysts for Industrial Applications White Papers

Chiral Catalysts These well-defined pre-catalysts represent a selection of the Metal-Ligand complexes being manufactured at Umicore. Virtually all types of industrially available chiral ligands can be transformed in such complexes. These Metal-Ligand complexes are designed to generate under reaction conditions single species chiral catalysts suitable for enantioselective hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation reactions.
