The reaction of [Rh(CO)2Cl]2 with [HRu4(CO)12BH]- followed by treatment with an excess (at least three-fold) of [Cy3PAuCl] (Cy = cyclohexyl) leads to the formation of [Rh2Ru4(CO)16B{AuPCy3}] (previously prepared by another route) and [Rh2Ru4(CO)15B{AuPCy3}3]. The new trigold derivative has been characterized by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It possesses an octahedral Rh2Ru4 core containing an interstitial boron atom; two of the gold(I) phosphine units cap two adjacent faces and the third bridges an edge of the octahedral cage. There are no close Au···Au contacts. Reactions of [Rh2Ru4(CO)16B]- with [(R3PAu)3O]+ (R = Ph, 2-MeC6H4) resulted in the formation of [Rh2Ru4(CO)15B{AuPR3}3]; for R = Ph, two isomers in respect of the arrangements of the AuPPh3 were isolated. Fluxional processes involving the gold(I) phosphine fragments have been observed using solution variable-temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy.

Thiourea derivatives [N-(di-n-propylcarbamothioyl)-4-fluorobenzamide (HL1) and N-(di-n-propylcarbamothioyl)-4-bromobenzamide (HL2)] and their platinum complexes have been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic 1H NMR, 13C NMR, COSY, HMQC, and FT-IR techniques. The structure of both complexes was also confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The study of X-ray single crystal diffraction shows that the supramolecular aggregation of the complexes is stabilized via weak interactions as well as stacking interactions such as C-H···π and π···π. The cis-[Pt(L1-S,O)2 showed C–H···π and π···π stacking interactions, whereas only C–H···π stacking interaction was observed in cis-[Pt(L2-S,O)2]. In addition, the strong classical and non-classical intermolecular hydrogen bonds are not found in the prepared complexes. Therefore, it can be said that the C–H···π and π···π stacking interactions play an important role in the formation of supramolecular structures of the complexes.

Starting from trichloro(phenylethyl)silane, six differently fluorinated triaryl(phenylethyl)silanes were synthesized by salt elimination reactions and their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)(phenylethyl)silane reveals a folded structure due to intramolecular π-stacking interactions, while those with a lower degree of fluorination show either intermolecular π-stacking or no interplay between the aryl groups. A similar folded structure was observed for (4-methylphenethyl)tris(pentafluorophenyl)silane and [2-(naphth-2-yl)ethyl]tris(pentafluorophenyl)silane, both generated from the corresponding trichlorosilanes. In contrast, the inversely fluorinated [2-(pentafluorophenyl)ethyl]triphenylsilane only revealed intermolecular π-stacking interactions. Compounds with tetrafluoropyridyl substituents behave differently; with these compounds, π-stacking is only observed between the fluorinated units. All compounds were analyzed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and found to have strong H/C/N/F···F and N···C contacts.

Creating crystalline porous materials with large pores is typically challenging due to undesired interpen-etration, staggered stacking, or weakened framework stability. Here, we report a pore size expansion strategy by self-recognizing π-π stacking interactions in a series of two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen–bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), HOF-10x (x=0,1,2), self-assembled from pyrene-based tectons with systematic elongation of π-conjugated molecular arms. This strategy successfully avoids interpene-tration or staggered stacking and expands the pore size of HOF materials to access mesoporous HOF-102, which features a surface area of ~ 2,500 m2/g and the largest pore volume (1.3 cm3/g) to date among all reported HOFs. More importantly, HOF-102 shows significantly enhanced thermal and chemical stability as evidenced by powder x-ray diffraction and N2 isotherms after treatments in chal-lenging conditions. Such stability enables the adsorption of dyes and cytochrome c from aqueous media by HOF-102 and affords a processible HOF-102/fiber composite for the efficient photochemical detox-ification of a mustard gas simulant.

On treatment of the [(1,2-C2B9H11)2Co]- ion with naphthalene in presence of AlCl3 a remarkably bridged [8,8'-μ-(CH2-C9H6)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3-Co]- ion is obtained as a single isolated compound. The triatomic -CH2-C9H6- bridge is derived from the rearranged naphthalene nucleus. The mechanism of this reaction is obscure but it does resemble the "Electrophile-Induced Nucleophilic Substitution" reported earlier. The structure of the compound was established by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

The isomers 4′-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4,2′:6′,4″-terpyridine (1), 4′-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4,2′:6′,4″-terpyridine (2), 4′-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (3), and 4′-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3,2′:6′,3″-terpyridine (4) have been prepared and characterized. The single crystal structures of 1 and 2 were determined. The 1D-polymers [Cu2(hfacac)4(1)2]n.2nC6H4Cl2 (Hhfacac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione), [Cu(hfacac)2(2)]n.2nC6H5Me, [Cu2(hfacac)4(3)2]n.nC6H4Cl2, [Cu2(hfacac)4(3)2]n.nC6H5Cl, and [Cu(hfacac)2(4)]n.nC6H5Cl have been formed by reactions of 1, 2, 3 and 4 with [Cu(hfacac)2].H2O under conditions of crystal growth by layering and four of these coordination polymers have been formed on a preparative scale. [Cu2(hfacac)4(1)2]n.2nC6H4Cl2 and [Cu(hfacac)2(2)]n.2nC6H5Me are zig-zag chains and the different substitution position of the CF3 group in 1 and 2 does not affect this motif. Packing of the polymer chains is governed mainly by C–F...F–C contacts, and there are no inter-polymer π-stacking interactions. The conformation of the 3,2′:6′,3″-tpy unit in [Cu2(hfacac)4(3)2]n.nC6H4Cl2 and [Cu(hfacac)2(4)]n.nC6H5Cl differs, leading to different structural motifs in the 1D-polymer backbones. In [Cu(hfacac)2(4)]n.nC6H5Cl, the peripheral 3-CF3C6H4 unit is accommodated in a pocket between two {Cu(hfacac)2} units and engages in four C–Hphenyl...F–Chfacac contacts which lock the phenylpyridine unit in a near planar conformation. In [Cu2(hfacac)4(3)2]n.nC6H4Cl2 and [Cu(hfacac)2(4)]n.nC6H5Cl, π-stacking interactions between 4′-trifluoromethylphenyl-3,2′:6′,3″-tpy domains are key packing interactions, and this contrasts with the packing of polymers incorporating 1 and 2. We use powder X-ray diffraction to demonstrate that the assemblies of the coordination polymers are reproducible, and that a switch from a 4,2′:6′,4″- to 3,2′:6′,3″-tpy metal-binding unit is accompanied by a change from dominant C–F...F–C and C–F...H–C contacts to π-stacking of arene domains between ligands 3 or 4.

AbstractA new cyclotriphosphazene, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexakis (o-tolylamono)-1,3,5,2λ5,4λ5,6λ5-triazatriphosphinine (MPAP), was prepared using microwave irradiation and identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman, 31P NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, in addition to hydrogen bonds, the network is further stabilized by inter- and intramolecular π–π stacking interactions between aromatic rings.
