Chiral enantiomers [Cu(phen)(L-threo)(H2O)]NO31 and [Cu(phen)(D-threo)(H2O)]NO32 (threo = threoninate) underwent aldol-type condensation with formaldehyde, with retention of chirality, to yield their respective enantiomeric ternary copper(II) complexes, viz.L- and D-[Cu(phen)(5MeOCA)(H2O)]NO3·xH2O (...
