Supramolecular stereocontrol of octahedral metal-centered chirality. Ligand modulation

By associating chiral labile [FeL3](2+) complexes with TRISPHAT anions, a stereocontrol of the metal-centered chirality is feasible; the sense of the stereoselective induction and its magnitude strongly depends upon the structure of the diimine ligands (L bpy, phen).
