The handedness structure of octahedral metal complexes with chelating ligands

- The published methods for analyzing the chirality of octahedral chelate complexes are described and evaluated.
- These methods are developed to show they are generally consistent.
- A common methodology is established by bringing together all these methods.
- This methodology offers new insights and in particular takes the donor atoms into consideration.
- The review offers significant theoretical advances in the description of chirality for octahedral complexes with chelating ligands.
