Abstract

Low-symmetric complexes {[Co(μ(2)-L)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n) (1) and {[Co(μ(3)-L)(H(2)O)]·0.5H(2)O}(n) (2) and corresponding nanocrystals were obtained, which exhibit structural recurrence behaviour at various temperatures as well as changes of chiral, nonlinear optical and ferroelectric properties.
