摘要：

In this report, axially chiral bidentate ligands are classified by the biaryl and other groups which induce chirality. Within this sub-classification, the ligands are described in the chronological order in which they were reported so that the development of ligand architectural design can be monitored. The results of the application of their metal complexes in asymmetric catalysis are compared. The report contains 162 references.

He stayed at University College Dublin for his PhD working under the supervision of Professor Dervilla Donnelly on the application of aryllead triacetates to the synthesis of natural products. During his PhD he also worked in Marseille in 1988 under the supervision of Dr Jean-Pierre Finet (Cu-catalysed N-arylation) and at Texas A & M in 1989 with Professor Sir Derek Barton (mechanistic studies of arylation/phenol arylation). He received his PhD degree in 1990 and moved to the group of Dr John Brown at the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, Oxford University for postdoctoral studies in the area of asymmetric catalysis. During this 3-year stay he was appointed in 1991 as a Tutorial Fellow at Wadham College, Oxford and in 1992 as College Lecturer/Director of Studies at St Hugh's College, Oxford. He returned to University College Dublin as a College Lecturer in 1993 where he started his independent research. His research interests are the design and preparation of chiral ligands and their application in a broad range of asymmetric catalytic transformations. Palladium catalysis is of special interest and new and useful substrates for the Heck reaction have recently been studied. Mechanistic studies in asymmetric catalysis are also investigated and approaches include the use of X-ray crystallography and multinuclear NMR techniques and this is supplemented by computational studies in collaboration with Professor Per-Ola Norrby at the Technical University of Denmark. He was a visiting researcher in the group of Professor Andreas Pfaltz at the Max Planck Institut für Kohlenforschung at Mülheim an der Ruhr (Germany) in 1996. He is a core investigator of the Conway Institute of Biomolecular and Biomedical Sciences at University College Dublin and has two collaborative research projects on the physiology and pharmacology of Ecstasy, amphetamine and related phenylethylamines. He was the recipient of a President's Research Award in 1996 and a President's Teaching Award in 2000 from University College Dublin. His research group currently consists of 10 PhD students and one postdoctoral fellow and he has also supervised two postdoctoral researchers, four visiting Erasmus students and graduated seven PhD students to date. A keen tennis player, he has represented his province Munster at all levels, was awarded his Colours from University College Dublin and represented Ireland in the Italia Cup (ITF World Team Competition) in Germany in 1999, the Home Nations Series in 2000 and again in the Italia Cup 2000 in Argentina where he was team captain. Mary McCarthy , born in Dublin, graduated with an Honours BSc degree in Chemistry from University College Dublin in 1995. She received her PhD in chemistry (1999) from the same institution where she investigated the synthesis of new chiral ligands and their application in asymmetric catalysis under the supervision of Dr Patrick Guiry. She then began postdoctoral research on palladium-catalysed amidocarbonylation under the guidance of Professor Dr Piet W. N. M. van Leeuwen at the Institute for Molecular Chemistry, University of Amsterdam. In February 2001, she will commence a fellowship at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Mülheim at the laboratory of Dr Walter Leitner, where her research will involve the f
