Abstract Piano stool complexes of NHC ligands bearing a chiral auxiliary derived from α-ᴅ-galactose, and linked through the C-6 carbon atom, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. [(η6-C6H3Me3)RuCl2(κC-1,3-MeNC3H2NR)], R = 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-6-deoxy-α-D-galactopyran-6-yl, (4) crystallized in the space group P 21 with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, and the group 9 complexes [(η5-C5Me5)MCl2(κC-1,3-PhCH2NC3H2NR)] (5a M = Rh, 5b M = Ir), which are isostructural, crystallized in the space group P 1 with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. In all three structures the pyranose ring adopts a skew-boat conformation.
