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)(H(2)O)(7)]·6(H(2)O)·CH(3)OH (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.
