Abstract
Feel the pinch! Planar-chiral, cationic, ruthenium-palladium complexes based on 6,1-coordinated ECE pincer ligands are synthesized as racemic mixtures by reacting ECE-palladium complexes and [Ru(C5R5)(MeCN)3]+ arenophiles (R=H or Me). Chiral resolution of the cationic complexes was achieved by using the chiral counterion [-TRISPHAT]-, and solving the X-ray crystal structure of one
