Homochiral coordination polymer with infinite double-stranded helices.

ABSTRACT: Hydrothermal reaction of 4,4-trimethylenedipyridine (tmdp) with ZnI2 under 175 degrees C yields a novel compound, {[Zn2I4(tmdp)2]n.[Zn2I4(tmdp)2]n}, which has a chiral infinite double-stranded helical structure consisting of two single-stranded helices of the same handedness.
