Helical Supramolecular Assemblies of {2,4,6-[Cp∗Rh(E2-1,2-C2B10H10)(NC5H4CH2S)]3(triazine)} (E = S, Se) S
文摘
Polycarborane-substituted molecules [Cp*Rh{E2C2(B10H10)}]3(tpst) [E = S (2a), Se (2b)] were synthesized and characterized. 2a and 2b form toluene solvates in the solid state showing infinitely connected [(2a,b)-(toluene)]∞ helices. The chains of these supramolecules are held together by Cp*−toluene−Cp* π-stacking interactions of two of the three Cp* ligands of the bell-shaped 2a and 2b molecules. Unconventional BHδ−−pyridylδ+ aromatic hydrogen bonding enforces the bell-shapes of the molecular units, and the Cp* conformations are expected to induce the supramolecular structures.
