Abstract

Four 1-D chain coordination polymers containing bent 1,1′-binaphthyl ligands were synthesised with NiII, CuII and AgI. The use of (R)-4,4′-(2,2′-diethoxy-[1,1′-binaphthalene]-6,6′)dipyridine as a ligand yielded isostructural 1-D looping chains with NiII and CuII, whereas the use of AgI yielded both linear and helical 1-D chains. Changing the dipyridyl coordination groups to dicarboxylates in (S)-6,6′-dicarboxyl-2,2′-diethoxy-1,1′-binaphthalene yielded a 1-D looping chain with a CuII paddlewheel motif. The AgI 1-D chain features two crystallographically distinct 1-D chain morphologies with a triple helix and linear strips. The packing arrangement of the 1-D chains differs because of the intermolecular interactions present, with the steric bulk of the ethoxy substituent on the 1,1′-binaphthyl enabling the formation of large void spaces.

Keywords: 1,1′-binaphthyl, 1-D looping chains, chirality, coordination polymers, helical 1-D chains, packing, self-assembly, transition metals.
