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 />
