A supramolecular assembly of chiral l/d-[Cd(Cl)(H2O)(phen)2]+ and l,l/d,d-dinuclear Cd complex coordinated by phen and {V16O38(Cl)} cluster

A novel supramolecular assembly of enantiomers l/d-[Cd(Cl)(H2O)(phen)2]+ and l,l/d,d-dinuclear Cd complex coordinated by phen groups and {V16O38(Cl)} cluster is formed via strong intermolecular H-bonding and π ⋯ π stacking interactions with chiral chains of [{l/d-Cd(H2O)(phen)2}2{V16O38 (Cl)}]4−, racemic layers and channels. The channels contain enantiomers l/d-[Cd(Cl)(H2O)(phen)2]+ in pairs.
