47. In a series of elegant studies, Fox and co-workers have shown that the match between the sense of helical chirality in a metal-salen complex and the absolute stereochemistry of the diamine backbone can be overturned in the context of (salen)Ni(II) metallofoldamers by introducing stereogenic end-groups at the salicylidene 3-position (ref 21). While Fox's work raises the possibility that a similar phenomenon might occur in (salen)Co(III) structures, i.e., that diastereomeric complexes (P,S,S)- and (M,S,S)- 1b could both be present in HKR reaction mixtures, an examination of the crystal structures of the (salen)Ni(II)-derived metallofoldamers reveals a conformation of the salen ligand that is distinct from that of the (salen)Co(III) step structures that are the focus here. In the (salen)Ni(II) structures, the ligand appears to be twisted out of planarity into a helix, as opposed to adopting the salen step. Indeed, a crystal structure of (salen)Ni(II) complexes with the same ligand as in complexes 1 reveals no salen step; instead, the ligand takes on a slight twist (see: Shimazaki, Y.; Tani, F.; Fukui, K.; Naruta, Y.; Yamauchi, O. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2003, 125, 10512-10513). For the purpose of our analysis of (salen)Co(III) complexes, we make the assumption that there is only a single energetically accessible diastereomer of 1b, with the step absolute stereochemistry matched to the diamine absolute stereochemistry
