Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the Ni(II) atoms have six-coordinated distorted octahedral environments, and the isophthalato ligand bridges two Ni(II) centres in a bis bidentate fashion to form dimers in all three complexes. The monomers of {[Ni(SS-L)]2(μ-IPA)} 2+ are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds to generate one-dimensional left-handed helical chains in complex 3. The homochiral natures of complexes 2and3have been confirmed by CD spectroscopy UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s12039-014-0755-0 ER -
