Chiral channels in a 3-D network of self-assembled tetranuclear copper(ii) aggregatesThis paper is dedicated to the memory of Professor O. Kahn who passed suddenly away on December 8, 1999.
Abstract
A sugar-substituted ligand allowed for the synthesis of chiral Cu(II) tetranuclear aggregates which assemble via H-bonding in a 3D-network containing hydrophobic helical channels.
