Abstract

Abstract : Chiral self‐recognition between stereogenic tetrapalladium units, [Pd4 ( rac ‐dpmppm)2 ] 2+ (( RR )2, ( SS )2 ) and [Pd4 ( meso ‐dpmppm)2 ] 2+ (( RS )2 ) {dpmppm=[(Ph2 PCH2 )PhP]2 CH2 }, afforded Pd8 chains supported by homochiral dpmppm ligands, [Pd8 (rac‐dpmppm)4 ] 4+ (( RR )4, ( SS )4 ) and [Pd8 (meso‐dpmppm)4 ] 4+ (( RS )2 ( SR )2, ( SR )2 ( RS )2 ). Among ten possible stereoisomers, only four Pd8 chains were thermodynamically self‐aligned; the C 2 chiral structure of the chain is determined by the configuration of the P centers inside.
