Abstract:
The co-crystallisation of [Fe(CN)5NO]2- and cyclic achiral 1(2+) and chiral 2(2+) or 3(2+) bisamidinium tectons leads in the crystalline phase to the formation of 1-D H-bonded achiral and chiral molecular networks respectively. In all cases, the network is formed by mutual bridging of the anionic and cationic units through a chelate mode of H-bonding.
