“…In the context of the M···C contacts, we conducted an extensive literature search for similar contacts in 1,3-diketonate metal complexes, and our results are summarized in Table 3S, Supporting Information. We found that in some works, performed mostly for copper(II) complexes ,− and more rarely for palladium(II) species, ,− short M···C (M = Cu II , Pd II ) contacts between metal centers and the central C atom of 1,3-diketonate ligands were recognized (Figures and ). The first reports appeared more than 50 years ago, , and the observed contacts were named “long intermolecular bond” and “weak interaction”, while later ,,− they were characterized as “notably short contacts”, “π–π stacking interactions involving chelate rings”, etc.…”
