Both complexes are dinuclear metallocyclic complexes. The monoanionic form (HL)<sup>−</sup> of the chiral ligand coordinates to the metal centers in a bichelating antiparallel fashion to form the metallomacrocycles where the chiral metallocycles Ni<sub>2</sub>(HL)<sub>2</sub> template the formation of a novel chiral 3D zeolite-like water framework with nanometer cages trapping the metallocycles or anchor chiral water chains in the 1D channels of a resulting chiral 3D supermolecule, respectively.
