Abstract

Both anti–anti–anti–anti and syn–syn–syn–syn conformations of the bound metal ions are possible with the new ligand N,N′-bis(α-pyridyl)-2,6-diaminopyridine (H2tpda). Pentanuclear CoII and NiII complexes are accessible with this ligand (see sketch on the right). The metal chain is helically wrapped by four all-syn tpda ligands.
