Abstract:A series of 1:1 (aqua)zinc phthalocyanine
solvates with
polar aprotic
solvents was obtained. The X-ray single diffraction study assisted
with DFT calculations showed that coordinated water and solvent molecules
determine the crystal structure via strong hydrogen bonding, with
three fundamentally different structural motifs being formed: a doubly
H-bonded supramolecular synthon, which alternates with classical π–π
interactions between shifted phthalocyanine fragments, and a solvent-assisted
motif with bifurcate… Show more
