title: Enantiospecific inclusion of chiral 1,2-dichloroethane rotamers in the crystal lattice of chiral square-pyramidal Cu(II) complexes with perfectly polar alignment of guest and host molecules.
abstract: The inclusion compounds, [CuL(1)2(H2O)].(P)-C2H4Cl2 and [CuL(2)2(H2O)].(M)-C2H4Cl2(HL1 = N-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-(R)-alpha-methylbenzylamine and HL2 = N-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-(S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine), crystallise in the non-centrosymmetric space group C2; intermolecular hydrogen bonding leads to a perfectly polar alignment of both host and guest molecules with enantioselectivity.
