Non-symmetrical ligands may facilitate the formation of enantio-enriched substrates by virtue of their binding to catalytically-active metals.  We propose to generate a series of non-symmetrical amine bis(phenolate) ligands with varied steric bulk and electron donating or withdrawing substituents.  Computations are being completed in addition to synthetic methods to model these systems.  In efforts to accurately computationally model the scheme of ligands, density functional theory is utilized to determine geometries and energies for resultant d<sup>0</sup> metal complexes.<br/>
