Transmission of chirality in artificial metallated oligoamides

Biological homochirality is often discussed as signature of living systems. The origin of biological homochirality is still an open question in contemporary research. In addition to the initial symmetry breaking, particular attention of recent studies is focused on the transmission of chirality at the molecular level, as well as it´s translation on a larger scale in order to facilitate a number of applications. In our laboratory, we investigate self-assembled hydrogen-bonded motifs of artifical metallated oligoamides. Interestingly, out of the large variety of possible structures, only very few are actually found those systems. In particular, the chirality of the distant building blocks is transmitted to the initially prochiral metal center. Herein, several new examples will be discussed, including organometallic iron(II) metallocene and ruthenium(II) piano-stool complexes.
