Abstract

The ammonium carboxylate salts (m-iodobenzoate)·((R)-1- phenylethylammonium) (1), (m-iodobenzoate)·((S)-1-phenylethylammonium) (2), and (m-iodobenzoate)·((±)-1-phenylethylammonium) (3) self-assemble to form two types of one-dimensional hydrogen bonded columns, depending on the homo- or heterochirality of the cation: 1 and 2 form noncentrosymmetric hydrogen bonded columns having a 2-fold screw axis, whereas 3 forms centrosymmetric hydrogen bonded columns having an inversion center.
