The chiral bis-tridentate (1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-picolinamide (tzpa) ligand 1 was used in the formation of lanthanide di- and triple stranded di-metallic helicates in acetonitrile solution, where the changes in the ground and the Tb(III) excited state properties were used to monitor the formation of these supramolecular structures in situ under kinetic control.
