A double-stranded dinuclear cadmium(II) helicate that assembles into chains in the solid state.
A [4+4] double-stranded cadmium dihelicate was afforded from an easily accessible thiosemicarbazone ligand; its crystal structure reveals the assembly of two enantiomers into dihelicate pairs, these pairs being further connected into infinite linear chains.
