An object is defined as chiral if it is not superimposable on its mirror image. Chirality takes on great significance in organic chemistry. Many molecules, natural and synthetic, possess chirality and perform a special function which their enantiomer (the nonsuperimposable mirror image) cannot accomplish. Chiral molecules may act as catalysts; that is, a small amount of a chiral catalyst, when added to a reaction, may accelerate or make possible the reaction, while remaining unchanged itself. Research in the design and synthesis of chiral ferrocene derivatives has provided catalysts to perform specific functions. The importance of this class of molecules is increasing in research and in industrial applications.
