title: Luminescent homochiral silver(I) lamellar coordination networks built from helical chains.
abstract: The reactions of 2,2'-dimethoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl-3,3'-bis(4-vinylpyridine)(L) with AgNO3 or AgClO4 at 70 degrees C gave rise to two novel luminescent homochiral lamellar coordination polymers, AgL2X (X = NO3- for 1 or ClO4- for 2), which are built from linking helical chains by Ag(I) atoms as hinges.
