Derivatives of 2, 2': 6', 2'': 2'', 6'''-quaterpyridine have been prepared which are asymmetrically substituted with alkyl groups in the 4-or 6-position and with various substituents in the 4'-position. These ligands form dicopper (I) double helicates which have been investigated by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. The formation of helical isomers is shown to depend on the intramolecular interactions between the constituent ...
