Small molecule asymmetric catalysts are often described as being “good” or “bad” but to date there has been no way of comparing catalyst efficiency quantitatively. We define a simple formula, Asymmetric Catalyst Efficiency (ACE), that allows for such a comparison. We propose that a catalyst is more efficient if fewer atoms are utilised to give a product in a required enantiomeric excess. We illustrate this concept by analysing several well-known asymmetric catalytic chemical reactions carried out in academic laboratories, and compare small molecule catalysts with enzymes. We conclude that ACE is a useful descriptor for the comparison of diverse catalytic systems. It is also noteworthy that, despite the relatively short period of investigation into small molecule catalysts, they are competitive with enzymes with regards to this measure of catalytic efficiency.

This paper presents a succinct overview of recent advances of our research groups in the field of supramolecular chirogenic systems in the solution and in the solid state and consequent progress towards various functional materials having potential applications in different areas of science and technology. The phenomenon of supramolecular chirality, which is a smart combination of supramolecular chemistry and chiral science, is demonstrated with one of the most representative structural motifs amongst existing chirogenic systems, which is based upon the ethane-bridged bis-porphyrinoids. Further progress towards various functional materials is made upon preparation of different thin-films and nanostructures using the same bis-porphyrin architecture. For more practical application of functional materials chiral modification of metal surface is carried out resulting in effective asymmetric catalyst.
