title: Formation of a novel ferromagnetic end-to-end cyanate bridged homochiral helical copper(II) Schiff base complex via spontaneous symmetry breaking.
abstract: A homochiral helical coordination polymer of copper(II) has been synthesized using achiral precursors via spontaneous symmetry breaking and has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state CD spectroscopy. The variable temperature magnetic measurements indicate the presence of weak ferromagnetic exchange interactions mediated by end-to-end cyanate bridges (J = +0.12 cm(-1)).
