Two pairs of stable mononuclear single-strand helical complexes were obtained through controlled self-assembly using 2,6-pyridinediylbis(2-pyridinyl)methanone (L) and copper(II) salts. CuL(NO3)(2) (1) and [CuL'(H2O)](NO3)(2) (2) represent a pair in which L takes the diketo form in 1 but hydrolyzed in 2, while CuLCl2 (3) and [CuL''Cl]Cl (4) constitute another pair in which L remains intact in 3 but solvolyzed in 4. A mechanism of the metal-promoted hydrolysis and solvolysis of ligand L with asymmetric induction is proposed through studies on the crystal structures of these complexes. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
