Stereoselective self-assembly of atropoisomeric Pd(II) metallocycles induced by an aromatic guest.
A new dinuclear Pd(II) metallocycle consisting of a 4,4'-bipyridin-1-ium ligand with a quinoline moiety was self-assembled in aqueous solution with the aid of template molecules; the situation found in solution in which both syn and anti or only the anti atropoisomers are observed strongly relies on the intermolecular host-guest interactions.
