EurBest in EurJIC: Nickel(II) Coordination Polymers – 4,4'-Bipyridine-Connected Six- and Four-Fold Metal–Succinate Helices and Their Corresponding Chiral and Achiral Networks

The nickel(II) coordination polymers [Ni(suc)(bipy)(H2O)2]n•2nH2O (1) and [Ni(suc)(bipy)(H2O)2]n•nH2O (2) are reported. The nickel–succinate helices are right-handed sixfold in 1 and both right- and left-handed fourfold in 2. The guest water molecules are in intra- and interhelical channels in 1 and 2, respectively. Hexagonally packed 4,4'-bipyridine-bridged homochiral sixfold helices produce a chiral 75.9 network in 1, whereas 4,4'-bipyridine-bridged racemic fourfold helices generate an achiral 65.8 network in 2.
