Homo-chiral self-assemblies and magnetic studies of M(II)-2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylate coordination polymers

► 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylate (bpdc) as a functional organic ligand. ► Two chiral coordination polymers formed by the same achiral organic ligand. ► Two chiral coordination polymers in distinct coordination and magnetic behaviors.
