Arrays of chiral nanotubes and a layered coordination polymer containing gallium-sulfide supertetrahedral clusters.
Organically functionalised supertetrahedral clusters: Two novel coordination polymers, consisting of chiral helical nanotubes and of composite layers, have been obtained by linkage of gallium-sulfide supertetrahedral clusters and dipyridyl ligands (see picture).
