Cinchonidine vs Cinchonine: Stereochemical Control of Architecture and Circularly Polarized Luminescence in Chiral Cu4I4–Cluster-Based Coordination Polymers

Abstract Employing the epimeric ligands, cinchonidine (L1) and cinchonine (L2), two chiral Cu(I) coordination polymers were synthesized: a 1D chain Cu4I4(L1) and a 3D framework Cu4I4(L2). Structural analyses reveal that Cu4I4(L1) incorporates interconnected distorted gyroscope-li...
