Stereoselective Synthesis of Coordination Compounds: Self-Assembly of a Polymeric Double Helix with Controlled Chirality

Its information content is infinitely smaller than that of DNA, but its structure (see picture) ressembles the double‐stranded helix produced by nature. This self‐assembled, configurationally predetermined coordination polymer is built up from enantiopure chiral bipyridine‐type ligands and silver io...

More Information
Summary:Its information content is infinitely smaller than that of DNA, but its structure (see picture) ressembles the double‐stranded helix produced by nature. This self‐assembled, configurationally predetermined coordination polymer is built up from enantiopure chiral bipyridine‐type ligands and silver ions.
