Bis-ortho-chelated aryl-metal complexes, the socalled ECE-pincer metal complexes, exist in great<br />
varieties. Several novel strategies for anchoring these ECE-pincer metal complexes to soluble and<br />
insoluble supports have been developed. Novel synthetic routes have been developed for the direct<br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> functional para-substituents onto the pre-formed ECE-pincer metal complexes. 1 This<br />
allows, for example the introduction <strong>of</strong> anionic tethers which can non-covalently bind the ECE-pincer<br />
metal complex to the core <strong>of</strong> multicationic core-shell dendrimers.<br />
Recently, we concentrated on the covalent anchoring <strong>of</strong> ECE-pincer metal complexes to proteins. 2<br />
This approach, involving the inhibitory activity <strong>of</strong> nitrophenyl phosphonate esters to the catalytic triad<br />
(serine, histidine and asparagine) <strong>of</strong> lipases, has great potential for future applications in the fields <strong>of</strong><br />
protein structure elucidation (NMR, X-Ray, mass spectrometry), medicinal chemistry (biomarkers,<br />
MRI contrast agents, radiopharmaceuticals), biomaterials and catalysis (enantioselectivity, catalysis in<br />
aqueous media). Crystal structures <strong>of</strong> these novel ECE-pincer metal-lipase hybrids show in detail how<br />
the ECE-pincer metal unit is covalently attached to the enzyme. 3 The photophysical (biomarker),<br />
coordinative and catalytic (dynamic kinetic resolution) properties <strong>of</strong> these and related rutheniumlipase<br />
hybrid materials will be discussed.<br />
