Homochiral crystallization of helical coordination chains bridged by achiral ligands: can it be controlled by the ligand structure?
Homochiral/heterochiral crystallizations of helical chiral polymer chains bridged by achiral poly-pyridyl ligands dependent on the structures of the bridging ligands and independent on the solvent are described, implying a possible strategy to design achiral crystals of helical chains using chiral bridging ligands.
