title: Lanthanide contraction for helicity fine-tuning and helix-winding control of single-helical metal complexes.
abstract: Lanthanide contraction was used for helicity fine-tuning and helix winding control of single-helical tetranuclear complexes LZn3Ln (Ln = La-Lu); heavier lanthanides formed a tighter helix with a higher M/P ratio and gave a more abundant partially-coiled structure, resulting in 14-step structural control of the helical complexes.
