Anion control of ligand self-recognition in a triple helical array?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2004-02-10 DOI: 10.1039/B313218H

Abstract

Self-assembly of the ligand L1 with Co2+ into a dinuclear triple helicate [Co2(L1)3]4+ produces an anion binding pocket which encapsulates perchlorate anions. Furthermore we demonstrate how this ability to bind anions can control ligand self-recognition properties.
