The polytopic ligand 1 contains three different metal ion binding subunits forming two substructures that code for the self-assembly of two different coordination structures (helicate and grid type) under metal ion complexation. Reaction with Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions generates the coordinatively unsaturated architectures 8 and 9 resulting from the formation of two double helicate arrangements. Their crystal structure has been determined by x-ray diffraction. These results show that the double heli ...[more]
