Used as a chiral ligand in asymmetric catalysis, particularly in enantioselective transformations. It is effective in coordinating with transition metals like ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium to form complexes that catalyze reactions such as hydrogenation, cyclopropanation, and C-H activation. Its rigid structure and chiral centers enhance selectivity in producing optically active compounds, making it valuable in pharmaceutical synthesis and fine chemical production. Additionally, it is employed in the development of advanced materials and organic electronics due to its ability to form stable metal-organic frameworks.
