Absolute helicity of 1D chains influenced by enantiopure ligands

Two novel coordination 1D helical chains have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Interestingly, the chirality and coordination modes of the ligands in both structures play important roles in the absolute helicity although they are not in the backbones of the helix which are made of rigid achiral ligands. Furthermore, different coordination modes of chiral ligands regulated the fluorescent emission.231
