A Theoretical Study of Chiral Recognition in Bis[amino(phenyl)methanol]chromium(0) Complexes

Atheoretical study of the complexes formed by the chiral -amino--phenylmethanol in the presence and absence of a chromium(0) atom has been carried out. The results indicate that in the presence of chromium, themost stable complex corresponds to that where the two amino(phenyl)-methanol molecules have the same chirality while in the absence of the mentioned atom the preferred one is that with the two molecules with different chirality.
