Coordination‐driven assembly based on manganese( II ) centers and flexible 1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane leads to the solid‐state formation of electronically neutral, self‐templated homochiral helices (see picture), closed ring structures, and racemic mixtures of helices depending upon the presence or absence of guests such as benzene and 1,2‐diphenylethane.
