Second sphere supramolecular chirality: racemic hybrid H-bonded 2-D molecular networks.
Neutral hybrid 2-D networks have been generated using a bis-amidinium capable of chelating M(CN)6(3-) anions via hydrogen bonds: the packing of the achiral 2-D networks leads to channels which are occupied by water molecules forming polymeric H-bonded chains; furthermore, owing to the dihapto mode of H-bonding, the presence of supramolecular chirality of the delta' and lambda' types taking place within the second coordination sphere of the metallic centre has been demonstrated.
