Abstract

Homochiral/heterochiral crystallizations of helical chiral polymer chains bridged by achiral poly-pyridyl ligands dependent on the structures of the bridging ligands and independent on the solvent are described, implying a possible strategy to design achiral crystals of helical chains using chiral bridging ligands.
