Abstract

The bis-bidentate bridging ligand L reacts with Ag(I) ions to form a conventional dinuclear [Ag2L2]2+ double helicate; individual double helicate units assemble via Ag⋯Ag interactions into infinite chains, three of which wrap around a central spine of anions to give a triple helical braid, which is therefore an infinite triple helix composed of molecular double helicate subunits.
