Directional control of π-stacked building blocks for crystal engineering: the 1,8-naphthalimide synthon

摘要

Incorporating the 1,8-naphthalimide group into bis(pyrazolyl)-methane ligands triggers the association of their rhenium(Ⅰ) complexes into directionally ordered dimers in both solution and solid state, as demonstrated by ES~+/MS, PGSE-NMR and X-ray diffraction studies.
