Anion control of ligand self-recognition in a triple helical array.
Self-assembly of the ligand L(1) with Co(2+) into a dinuclear triple helicate [Co(2)(L(1))(3)](4+) produces an anion binding pocket which encapsulates perchlorate anions. Furthermore we demonstrate how this ability to bind anions can control ligand self-recognition properties.
