English Detailed protonation experiments of the [5,6]-pinenebipyridine molecule and the unsubstituted [4,5]- and [5,6]-CHIRAGEN[0] ligands in various solvents indicate a variety of structures of the protonated species. UV-visible and NMR measurements (including ¹⁵N chemical shifts) show the transition from trans to cis conformation of [5,6]-pinenebipyridine upon protonation. The [4,5]-CHIRAGEN[0] ligand, in which the protonation sites of the nitrogen atom donors are at opposite sides of the molecule, behave essentially like two independent bipyridine moieties; this behaviour was monitored by UV-visible, CD and NMR spectroscopy (including ¹⁵N data). In the case of the [5,6]-CHIRAGEN[0], a pocket of donor atoms provides a chiral environment for two protons per ligand.
