From disymmetric molecules to chiral polymers: A new twist for supramolecular synthesis?

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A new branch of crystal engineering appears to have borne fruit: A noncovalently bonded network consisting of the complex illustrated as a stick model on the right is converted directly into a coordination polymer with a similar molecular architecture. The implications of the new work extend beyond the boundaries of coordination chemistry since the same strategy should work equally well in organic and organometallic systems.
