AbstractTreatment of K2PtCl4 with the MeO‐salen Schiff baseH2L [H2L = N,N′‐bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)ethylene‐1,2‐diamine] gave the precursor complex PtL, which, upon recrystallization from two different solvent mixtures, afforded different solvate forms of PtL·H2O (1) and PtL·DMF (2) with different solid‐state colors. The self‐assembly of the PtL precursor with K2Pt(CN)4 or K2Pd(CN)4 leads to the isolation of isostructural compound [K2(PtL)2Pt(CN)4]·1.5H2O (3) or [K2(PtL)2Pd(CN)4]·1.5H2O (4), respectively. The solid‐state structures of 1–4 were established by X‐ray crystallography. It is interesting that the helix of the PtL units, along with the other two homochiral helical arrangements of K+ and M2+ (M = Pt or Pd) ions, can generate a unique “fake” example of a triple‐stranded helix in a 1‐D helical polymeric chain. Two such triple‐stranded helical chains intertwining one another can give rise to a double‐stranded helix formed by intermolecular weak C–H···N hydrogen‐bonding interactions with a long helical pitch of ca. 56 Å. The optical absorption and photoluminescence properties of 1–4 were also examined.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
