A C₂-symmetric enantiopure 4,5-bis(pinene)-2,2′-bipyridine ligand (–)-L was used to investigate the diastereoselectivity in the formation of [ML₃]²⁺ coordination species (M = Fe(II), Ru(II), Os(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II)), and [ML₂Cl₂] (M = Ru(II), Os(II)). The X-ray structures of the [ML₃]²⁺ complexes were determined for Δ-[FeL₃](PF₆)₂,...

Two diastereoisomers of tetranuclear cyclometallated iridium complexes, either having an inner core of HEXOL-type [Ir(IrCl₂)₃]⁶⁺ unit and a surface of six chiral, didentate, cyclometallated ligands, are stereoselectively synthesized from an enantiopure pinenopyridine derivative.

The enantiomerically pure chiral tris-chelating ligand (+)-(7S,10R)-L(L) comprising three 4,5-pinenobipyridine subunits connected through a mesityl spacer has been synthesized. Complexes of L with RuII and FeII have been prepared and characterised. NMR spectroscopy indicates that...
