Two copper helical coordination polymers, [Cu(2-pc)(3-pc)]{sub n}1 and [Cu(2-pc)(4-pc)]{sub n}2 (2-pc=2-pyridine carboxylate, 3-pc=3-pyridine carboxylate, 4-pc=4-pyridine carboxylate) have been hydrothermally synthesized directly from pyridine carboxylic acids and copper nitrate. The crystal structure were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with the following data: compound 1, orthorhombic, P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, a=6.591(3) A, b=8.692(5) A, c=20.548(9) A, V=1177.2(9) A{sup 3}, Z=4; compound 2, orthorhombic, Pna2{sub 1}, a=21.160(10) A, b=9.095(5) A, c=6.401(3) A, V=1231.9(11) A{sup 3}, Z=4. The acentric three-dimensional (3D) framework of 1 is constructed from right-handed helical Cu(2-pc) chains and left-handed Cu(3-pc) helices. As for 2, Cu(2-pc) helical chains, in which left- and right-handed helices are coexisting, and Cu(4-pc) zigzag chains combined together to form acentric 3D architecture of 2 as well. Additionally, besides general spectral characterization, we first introduce generalized 2D correlation spectroscopy to explore the coordination polymers and ascertain the stretching vibration location of carboxylate groups of compounds 1 and 2. -- Abstract: Two copper helical coordination polymers, [Cu(2-pc)(3-pc)]{sub n}1 and [Cu(2-pc)(4-pc)]{sub n}2 have been obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. Both two compounds crystallized in non-centrosymmetric space groups, P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1} and Pna2{sub 1}, respectively. The 3D framework of 1 is constructed from right-handed helical Cu(2-pc) chains and left-handed Cu(3-pc) helices. As for 2, Cu(2-pc) helical chains, in which left- and right-handed helices are coexisting, and Cu(4-pc) zigzag chains combined together to form 3D architecture of 2 as well.
