Abstract

Extended structural studies, largely determinations at ∼150K, of the family of hydrates of [Co(NH3)6][Ln(dipic)3] (Ln=La-Lu, and Y; dipic=dipicolinate=pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) have provided detailed evidence of the nature of the interactions between the formally achiral cation and the chiral anions. They also provide a reference point for consideration of related systems incorporating chiral cations with and without the capacity to act as H-bond donors.
