Graphical Abstract

Self-sorting species: Nonlinear effects are observed in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions if self-sorted dinuclear complexes are generated. The nature of the substrate also influences this effect, because it affects the solubility of racemic self-sorted homochiral dinuclear complexes (see scheme).
