It is demonstrated that during cluster racemization and/or ligand exchange between clusters, the R/S-BiDi ligand is sufficiently confined, thus preventing its Racemization, and exclude the possibility that the ligand desorbs from the cluster surface.

It is found that the left- or right-handed disposition of bases in the structure has a decisive effect on the signs of the ECD, and it is concluded that G2-Ag2+-G2 is left-hand-oriented, and extrapolation of this orientation to longer strands gives rise to a left- hand-oriented parallel helix stabilized by interplanar H bonds.
