Control of Oxygen Atom Chirality and Chelate Ring Conformation by Protected/Free Sugar Hydroxyl Groups in Glucose-Pendant Dipicolylamine−Copper(II) Complexes

chiral center at the oxygen atom that coordinates to the metal
center. The configurations of the oxygen atom chirality and the
chelate ring conformation are simply controlled by protected/free
hydroxyl groups of the sugar moiety, yielding mirror image CD
spectra. In this system, repulsive and attractive forces are used
to regulate chirality on the copper-coordinated oxygen atom both
in the solid state and in solution.
