Abstract

Abstract : String‐like stacks of metal ions, like tennis balls in their box, are a sought‐after architecture because of the properties that may result from short distances between multiple metal centers. Ivan Huc et al. demonstrate in their Communication on page 18461 how helical aromatic foldamers enable the production of such structures and can be loaded with copper(II) centers with barely any change in their conformation, producing objects reminiscent of a wire in an organic sheath.
