Abstract: Published data on the synthesis and catalytic properties of metal complexes with chiral ligands containing a terpene moiety are integrated and systematized. The stereochemical features of transition metal complexes with terpene ligands are discussed. Structures of stable complexes of this type and the initial chiral ligands are presented. In view of the enormous structural diversity of the analyzed data, classification is based on the chemical functionality of terpene ligands. The results of application of terpene ligands in asymmetric transition metal catalysis are considered; the data are classified in terms of the type of chemical reaction. Data on the biological activity of some metal complexes with terpene ligands are presented.
