Enantioselective recognition of chiral carboxylic anions by a ruthenacyclic receptor

Abstract

A ruthenacyclic complex comprising the Ru+NH unit, chiral at the metal centre, was shown to complex and discriminate two enantiomeric carboxylic substrates. Binding was highlighted by spectra changes in 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Due to the configurationally labile metal centre, the two (R) and (S) enantiomeric substrates are bound, but each one specifically to one stereoisomer of the receptor.
