Molecular tectonics: infinite cationic double stranded helical coordination networks.
Upon crystallisation of two bismonodentate tectons based on two pyridine units, interconnected at the meta position by a tetra- or hexa-ethylene glycol fragment and Ag+ cation, double stranded helical infinite coordination networks were formed and structurally characterised. The cationic double helical architectures obtained may be regarded as analogues of DNA in terms of topology.
