Abstract

A penta-stranded helicate was obtained by combining [Pd(CH3CN)4](BF4)2 with La(NO3)3 and a polydentate ligand. The helicate displays low symmetry, both in solution and in the solid state. A dynamic interconversion between the penta-stranded helicate and a symmetrical, four-stranded helicate was achieved by adjustment of the metal-to-ligand rati
