The crystal structures of complexes <b>1</b>−<b>3</b> revealed spontaneously resolved helical coordination polymers in enantiomorphic space groups <i>P</i>4<sub>3</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2 (<b>1</b>) and <i>P</i>4<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2 (<b>2</b> and <b>3</b>) despite the high molecular symmetry associated with the constituent building blocks. The individual helical polymer chains were linked together by hydrogen bonding involving the H<sub>2</sub>O solvent and SiF<sub>6</sub><sup>2-</sup> anions to form a topologically complex three-dimensional network.
