The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

The term helicate was introduced by Lehn and coworkers in 1987 for the description of a
polymetallic helical double-stranded complex, in effect a metalcontaining helix. 1 It is formed …

A helix is a geometric motif which is found in natural as well as in artificial structures. Helicity
can be observed in the spiral arms of galaxies or in microscopic structures such as right-or …

The conventional fashion by which compounds are synthesized in the laboratory and, to a
large extent, in vivo relies upon the stepwise formation of covalent bonds. However, such a …

The convenient preparation and the structural characterisation of the terdentate ligand 4′-
phenyl-2, 2′: 6′, 2 ″-terpyridine (crystallographic data: space group Pbcn, a= 11.801 (1) …

The metal ion complexing properties of the ligand DPP (2, 9-di-(pyrid-2-yl)-1, 10-
phenanthroline) were studied by crystallography, fluorimetry, and UV− visible spectroscopy …

A novel metal ion-assisted self-organizing molecular process is described by which a small
peptide has been assembled into a large and topologically predetermined protein tertiary …

The segmental ligand 2-{6-[N, N-diethylcarbamoyl] pyridin-2-yl}-1, 1 '-dimethyl-5, 5 '-
methylene-2 '-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl) bis [1 H-benzimidazole](L2) reacts with stoichiometric …

A new binuclear copper (II) Schiff base complex [Cu2 L2−(NO3) 2]· 2CH3OH (1)[L= 2, 6-bis
((E)-(p-tolylimino) methyl)-4-methoxyphenol] was synthesized using a template method in …

A novel family of chiral, discrete, nanoscale-sized supramolecular cages are prepared, via
self-assembly and noncovalent interactions from the tridentate ligand 1, 3, 5-tris [(4-pyridyl) …
