Here we describe the formation of an unexpected and unique family of hollow six-stranded helicates. The formation of these structures depends on the coordinative flexibility of silver and the 2-formyl-1,8-napthyridine subcomponent. Crystal structures show that these assemblies are held together by Ag<sub>4</sub>I, Ag<sub>4</sub>Br, or Ag<sub>6</sub>(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> clusters, where the templating anion plays an integral structure-defining role. Prior to the addition of the anionic tem ...[more]
