We report the hierarchical supramolecular organization of metallosupramolecular homochiral complexes 1-Λ-(S,S,S,S)-M2+ /1-∆-(R,R,R,R)-M2+ and 2- Λ-(S,S,S,S)-M2+ /2-∆- (R,R,R,R)-M2+ of M2+ = Co2+ , Fe2+ , Zn2+ metal ions with chiral pseudo-terpyridine-type ligands: 1-(S,S) or 1-(R,R) = 2,6-bis (naphthyl ethylimine)pyridine and 2-(S,S) or 2-(R,R) = 2,6-bis (phenyl-ethylimine)pyridine. Circular dichroism measurements in solution were used to confirm the enantiomeric nature of all twelve complexes. For crystal structures of 1- Λ- (S,S,S,S)-M2+ or 1-∆- (R,R,R,R)-M2+ complexes, absolute configurations {∆ (or P), Λ (or M)} were confirmed by refinement of the Flack parameter x: -0.007 ≤ x ≤ 0.11 for the single crystals of 1-Λ-(S,S,S,S)-M2+ /1-∆- (R,R,R,R)-M2+ , 2- Λ- (S,S,S,S)-Fe2+ , and 2-∆- (R,R,R,R)-Co2+ .
