  Thumbnail image of graphical abstract Catalytic asymmetric coordination chemistry is made possible by chirality transfer from an organic ligand with sulfur-centered chirality to a chiral-at-metal octahedral ruthenium complex. E. Meggers and co-workers describe in their Communication on page 7955 ff. how (S)-2-(isopropylsulfinyl)phenol and a more electron-rich methoxy derivative are capable of inducing and even catalyzing a chirality-generating trans–cis isomerization of two 2,3′-bipyridine ligands in the ligand sphere of a ruthenium complex
