This contribution explores, through detailed 1 H NMR, DOSY NMR, optical absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopic studies, the aggregation properties in solution of noncoordinating solvents of some new Zn II Schiff-base complexes, ( R )- 1, ( S )- 1, and ( R )- 2, derived from the chiral trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane. It is found that chloroform solutions of 1 are characterized by the presence of three species, the predominance of which consists of large oligomeric aggregates. For chloroform solutions of 1, upon heating or standing, all species are irreversibly converted into a dimer, 1C, which is very stable and hardly disaggregable. Analysis of 1 H NMR, UV/vis, and CD spectroscopic data and chemical evidence allow proposing a double helicate Zn 2 L 2 structure with a tetrahedral coordination around the Zn II ions for 1C, as a consequence of the defined stereochemistry of the trans -1,2-diaminocyclohexane chelate bridge. This represents a different, uncommon aggregation mode in Zn II complexes of tetradentate Schiff-bases.
