Supramolecular approaches to engineering chiral transition metal complexes for asymmetric catalysis have the advantages through the expeditious construction of catalyst libraries with structural modularity and diversity. Catalyst optimization by non-covalent binding of the building blocks can reduce the synthetic effort for chiral ligands and the time for the screening studies. These strategies promote streamlining of discovery of enantioselective catalysts not only for established reactions but also for new reactions.
