Abstract:It has been recently shown that enantiomers of the helicoidal paddlewheel complex [Co3(dpa)4(CH3CN)2] 2+ (dpa = the anion of 2,2'-dipyridylamine) can be resolved using the chiral [As2(tartrate)2] 2− anion (AsT), and that these complexes demonstrate a strong chiroptical response in the UV-visible and X-ray energy regions. Here we report that the nickel congener, [Ni3(dpa)4(CH3CN)2] 2+ , can likewise be resolved using AsT. Depending on the stereochemistry of the enantiopure AsT anion, one or the other of the tri… Show more
