Abstract

A triangular triscatechol ligand with enantiomerically pure terminal amide groups is prepared and used for the diastereoselective self-assembly of enantiomerically pure metallosupramolecular M4L4 tetrahedra.

Key words

tetrahedron - chirality - coordination compound - self-assembly­ - catechol
