Abstract

The amine‐containing ligand L, composed of two bidentate pyridyl‐thiazole moieties linked by a 1,3‐diaminophenylene unit, reacts with copper(II) ions to form a dinuclear double helicate [Cu2L2]4+. Reaction of [Cu2L2]4+ with dihydrogen phosphate (0.5 equivalents) gives the unsaturated dinuclear double helicate [Cu2L2(OPO3H2)]3+. [Cu2L2(OPO3H2)]3+ further reacts with another 0.5 equivalents of dihydrogen phosphate to give a trinuclear circular helicate which then self‐assembles into a hexameric cluster [{Cu3L3(OPO3H2)3}]26+
