Chirality delivery from a chiral copper(ii) nucleotide complex molecule to its supramolecular architecture

Chirality of a nucleotide–Cu(II) complex molecule, [CuNa(GMP)(HGMP)(H2O)7]·6(H2O)·CH3OH (GMP = guanosine 5′-monophosphate), is delivered to the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonding. Liquid- and solid-state circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy are used to analyse the molecular and supramolecular chirality.
