Molecular cable-like 1-D iodic spiral chains covered with triple helices stabilized in guest-included chiral porous framework.
The supramolecular crystal {[Pr(DMFA)](3)[Ni(II)(Hbim)(3)](2)I}(n) with intricate chiral networks of [Ni(II)(Hbim)(3)](-) molecules is reported. It includes a cationic architecture as a guest, constructed from chiral nanotubes that penetrate I(-) chains with spiral channels wrapped by triple helices. The I(-) chains have AC conductivity in crystals like a molecular cable.
