AI Article Synopsis
- A helical coordination polymer of copper(II) was created from achiral materials through a process called spontaneous symmetry breaking, confirmed by advanced techniques like single crystal X-ray diffraction.
- Solid-state circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy was used to verify the chiral nature of the synthesized polymer.
- Magnetic tests at various temperatures revealed weak ferromagnetic interactions facilitated by cyanate bridges between the polymer chains, with a coupling constant (J) of +0.12 cm(-1).
Article Abstract
A homochiral helical coordination polymer of copper(II) has been synthesized using achiral precursors via spontaneous symmetry breaking and has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state CD spectroscopy. The variable temperature magnetic measurements indicate the presence of weak ferromagnetic exchange interactions mediated by end-to-end cyanate bridges (J = +0.12 cm(-1)).
