Abstract: The mutual promotion of the development of stereo-selective coordination cata-lysts involving transition-metal coordination compounds and the development of the concep-tion of molecular design of such catalysts was discussed, as illustrated by three typical typesof stereo-selective coordination catalysis, namely, asymmetric synthesis, stereo-selective co-ordination polymerization of α-olefins, and hydroformylation of α-olefins.With this discus-sion, it is shown that for the molecular design of certain types of stereo-selective coordina-tion catalysts, there has already been sound scientific basis for the development of computer-aided design (CAD).

Key words: Asymmetric synthesis, Stereo-selective coordination polymerization, Hydro-formylation, Catalyst molecule design
