Abstract
Switching on chirality: Reversible catenation allows switching between achiral, planar, PdII-linked rings containing a pentakis(m-phenylene) unit and a chiral, double-helical conformation of the catenane (see picture). Molecular chirality is induced in the catenane by an ancillary chiral unit on the metal.
