Stereoselective synthesis of chiral coordination polymers with partial control of the rigid main chain topology

Abstract

The condensation polymerization between the appropriate enantiomers of [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione)₂- (bpy)]²⁺ 1 and [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-diamine)₂- (bpy)]²⁺ 2 in meta-cresol gave the homochiral coordination polymers Δ-3 and Λ-3 as well as the meso polymer, ΔΛ-3, which exhibit rigid, ribbon-like structures with different main chain topologies.
