Four new polymers, namely [Ni(-tsgluO)(2,4'-bipy){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n}.5nH{sub 2}O (1), [Co(-tsgluO)(2,4'-bipy){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n}.5nH{sub 2}O (2), [Ni(-tsgluO)(4,4'-bipy)]{sub n}.0.5nH{sub 2}O (3), and [Co(-tsgluO)(4,4'-bipy)]{sub n}.0.5nH{sub 2}O (4), where tsgluO{sup 2-}=(+)-N-p-tolylsulfonyl-L-glutamate dianion, 2,4'-bipy=2,4'-bipyridine, and 4,4'-bipy=4,4'-bipyridine, have been prepared and structurally characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 are isostructural and mononuclear, and crystallize in the acentric monoclinic space group Cc, forming 1D chain structures. Compound 3 is also mononuclear, but crystallizes in the chiral space group P2{sub 1}, forming a homochiral 2D architecture. In contrast to the other complexes, compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P-1 and is composed of binuclear [Co{sub 2}O{sub 6}N{sub 2}]{sub n}{sup 4-} units, which give rise to a 2D bilayer framework. Moreover, compounds 1, 2, and 4 self-assemble to form 3D supramolecular structures through {pi}-{pi} stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions, while compound 3 is further hydrogen-bonded to form 3D frameworks. We have demonstrated the influence of the central metal and bipyridine ligands on the framework chirality of the coordination complexes. - Graphical abstract: Four novel polymers based on a chiral ligand were prepared and structurally characterized; it represents the first series of investigations about the effect of central metals and bipyridine ligands on framework chirality.
