Spontaneous formation of a chiral supramolecular superhelix in the crystalline state using a single-stranded tetranuclear metallohelicate

Abstract

An unprecedented one-handed coiled-coil structure was formed in the crystal of a Zn3La tetranuclear metallohelicate, in which the handedness of both the helical component and the helical array was well controlled by the chiral auxiliary of the flexible acyclic ligand.
