Chiral polyphenyl-bridged bis(2,2′-bipyridine) ligands L2–4 give intense CD signals when protonated with tetrachloroferric acid or perchloric acid. X-ray crystal structure of [(L2)2H2](FeCl4)2 shows that a double-stranded helix stabilized by both interior and exterior hydrogen bonding is formed. Theoretical DFT calculations show that such stabilization exists in solution.
