Investigating the Conformations of a Family of [M₂L₃]⁴⁺ Helicates Using Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction.

ABSTRACT: We present five new dinuclear triple helicate compounds of types [Mn₂L₃](ClO₄)₄, [Co₂L₃](BF₄)₄, [Ni₂L₃](BF₄)₄, [Cu₂L₃](BF₄)₄, and [Zn₂L₃](BF₄)₄, where L is a previously reported semi-rigid ligand incorporating two α-diimine primary donor groups and two secondary 4-pyridyl donor groups. All complexes have been characterized in both solution and the solid state. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were used to probe the variation in the respective helical structures as the coordinated metal ion was altered, including the effect o
