“…The present investigation is an extension of our ongoing research interest in non-covalent interactions. 40–46 We herein designed and characterized two new diaryldithiophosphato- S , S ′-thallium compounds, corresponding to Tl + [S 2 P{OC 6 H 3 (2,5-(CH 3 ) 2 )} 2 ] − ( 1 ) and Tl + [S 2 P{OC 6 H 3 (3,5-(CH 3 ) 2 )} 2 ] − ( 2 ), consisting of a π-hole at the Tl atom, which results in Tl–C/S triel bonds. In this study, we placed particular focus on the self-assembled structures formed by Tl( i )⋯S, Tl( i )⋯C TrBs, anagostic, and other non-covalent interactions.…”
