Ruthenium complexes of eilatin: face selectivity in octahedral geometry; synthesis of [Ru(bpy)₂(eilatin)]²⁺ and [Ru(phen)₂(eilatin)]²⁺

Abstract

Eilatin, a marine alkaloid, is a potentially bifacial ligand that prefers to bind through its less hindered face in sterically demanding geometries as evident by the selective synthesis of two octahedral ruthenium complexes.
