acid
(H2L) was used to construct two chiral NiII complexes,
[Ni2(HL)2(N3)(H2O)](N3)·19H2O (1) and [Ni2(HL)2(N3)2]·7H2O (2). Both complexes are
dinuclear metallocyclic complexes. The monoanionic form (HL)− of the chiral ligand coordinates to the metal centers in a bichelating
antiparallel fashion to form the metallomacrocycles where the chiral
metallocycles Ni2(HL)2 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.
