[7]-Helicene: a chiral molecular tweezer for silver(i) salts

Abstract

We have unambiguously demonstrated the binding of the silver(I) ion in the central cavity of [7]-helicene, given that the counterion is weakly coordinating. In such a binding mode, the helicene is functioning as a chiral molecular tweezer.
