Bis[μ-N,N'-bis(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido]dizinc(II) dichloro-methane disolvate.

The article describes dinuclear double-helical complex called bis[μ-N,N'-bis(quinolin-8-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamido]dizinc(II) dichloromethane disolvate. The research was part of the study on the design of double and triple helicates due to their structural and superstructural diversity. These helical compounds have potential applications also in medicinal chemistry, nonlinear optics, asymmetric catalysis and luminescence.
