Abstract
Their synthetic applications and potential as models, as well as simple aesthetic pleasure, are the main reasons for interest in helical compounds. The preparation of several double‐helical molecules made up of complexed metal ions was previously reported. Now a triple‐helical molecule, in which two metal ions with a preference for octahedral coordination are complexed with three bis‐(bidentate) ligands, has been synthesized by Williams et al. The geometry dictated by the ligands in this triple helix keep the two metal atoms 8 Å apart (see also p. 1490).Keywords
