title: Unexpected self-assembly of chiral triangles from 90° chiral di-Pt(II) acceptors.
abstract: Two unexpected chiral organometallic triangles rather than squares from newly designed 90° chiral di-Pt(II) acceptors were obtained through coordination-driven self-assembly. Their structures were well characterized by multinuclear NMR ((1)H and (31)P) and variable-temperature NMR experiments, ESI-TOF-MS, and elemental analysis. The PM6 semiempirical molecular simulation was employed for the interpretation of the formation and stability of such chiral triangles.
