Stereochemical dominance in hierarchically formed helicates

The competition of different chiral ligands in the control of stereochemistry of hierarchically formed helical coordination compounds is investigated. It is found that sterically demanding chiral units can dominate the chiral induction of the helix even if they are present as a minor species. Hereby the relative strength of stereoinduction of different chiral units can be evaluated.

The competition among different chiral ligands in controlling the stereochemistry of hierarchically formed helical coordination compounds is investigated. It is found that sterically demanding chiral units can dominate the chiral induction of the helix even if they are present as a minor species. Thus, the relative strength of stereoinduction of different chiral units can be evaluated.
