Recent advances in the design and construction of helical coordination polymers

Abstract: The control of helicity at the supramolecular level is a fascinating challenge for chemists. This paper provides a short mini-review of recent advances in the design and construction of helical coordination polymers that are categorized based on designing different types of bridging ligands. Chiral coordination polymers based on helical topologies built from chiral or achiral bridging ligands and their potential applications are also presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
