Helical pi-Systems of Bidipyrrin-Metal Complexes
Various metal-bridged single and double helical complexes of pi-conjugated ligand molecules, bidipyrrins, were prepared. The introduction of terminal end units enabled the formation of chiral single and double helices; their spectroscopic properties and temperature-dependent behaviors were examined.
