| Abstract: | Its information content is infinitely smaller than that of DNA, but its structure (see picture) ressembles the double-stranded helix produced by nature. This self-assembled, configurationally predetermined coordination polymer is built up from enantiopure chiral bipyridine-type ligands and silver ions. |
