The nucleobase–ligand conjugate from ethylenediamine and 9-ethyladenine can function as a bidentate or tridentate ligand to RuII. Both modes of coordination involve the ethylenediamine group, while the latter additionally relies on carbonmetal bond formation through C8 of the nucleobase (structure depicted on the right).
