The carbohydrate units were attached to the trithiolato diruthenium scaffold using click 1,3dipolar cycloadditions employing adapted protocols , in the presence of CuSO4 as catalyst and sodium ascorbate as a reducing agent, in DMF under inert conditions. Complexes 6-9 bearing either alkyne or azide pendant group, were reacted with the appropriately functionalized carbohydrate derivatives 10 and 14-18 (Schemes 6-9) leading to eight new trithiolato dinuclear conjugates 19-26.
