Abstract

Two enantiomerically pure 9,9′‐spirobifluorene‐based bis(pyridine) ligands 1 and 2 were prepared to study their self‐assembly behavior upon coordination to cis‐protected palladium(II) ions. Whereas the sterically more demanding ligand, 2, gave rise to the expected dinuclear metallosupramolecular M2L2 rhombi, the sterically less demanding ligand, 1, acts as a template to give rise to a homochiral metallosupramolecular M4L4 catenane.
