The overall topology of coordination polymers can be controlled by means of the coordination preferences of the metal center and the structure of the bridging ligand. This is demonstrated here by the synthesis of a single-stranded helical coordination polymer by the self-assembly of the exo-ditopic ligand 1 and silver ions.
