An enantiopure helical coordination polymer AgPF6·(R)-3 as crystalline solid was synthesized by the self-assembly of chiral binaphthyl-based ligand(R)-6,6'-di[6-(2,2'-bipyridyl)]-2,2'-diethoxyl-1,1'-binaphthalene [(R)-3] and Ag+ ion.The single crystal structural analysis indicates that this polymer exhibits an infinite cylindric single-stranded M-helical structure with local Λ configuration at each tetrahedral metal center.However,the extended structure is dissociated into some oligomeric fragments in solution.The 1H NMR spectra of complex AgPF6·(R)-3 show that the ligand possesses a good C2 symmetry,and the chemical shifts of the protons depend on the concentration and temperature.In addition,there are rapid dynamic exchanges among some oligonuclear fragments in the solution of AgPF6·(R)-3.
