However, more and more counterexamples are found, and the root cause of photochromism property of salicylaldehyde Schiff base is still unclear. In this work, a series of chiral salicylaldehyde Schiff bases and their racemates were prepared. The formers are photochromic while the latters are photostable.

Therefore, great efforts were made to apply earth-abundant, low (non-)toxic, and environmentally friendly transition metals, such as iron, cobalt, nickel and copper, to the asymmetric hydrogenation in the past decades, and some considerable breakthroughs have been obtained.
