π−π Interactions Affect Coordination Geometries

Abstract: We explore the effect of π-π interactions in the complexes of mercury halides containing the N-(naphthyl)-2pyrazine carboxamide ligand (L1) in the coordination geometry of the central metal. Results show molecular packing features have a dramatic effect on coordination geometries and that the π-π stacking interaction affects the geometry around the mercury.

“…In the course of these investigations, a quite unexpected sevenfold coordination of a hydrated Hg(II) complex in aqueous solution has been revealed [6]. Also, there are some examples reported in the literature describing the influence of weak intermolecular interactions on the coordination geometry of the metal center and the formation of unusual coordination geometries around the Hg(II) ion [7][8][9].…”

“…[15b] To our knowledge, this case has remained, at least till very recently, [16] an unique example of how p-p stacking can control the metal coordination mode. To confirm the point, the paper compares in detail several derivatives obtained from the same Mn-tda precursor and various N co-ligands.…”

“…In this respect, we have already communicated that 1D polymers of formula [MnA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (tda)-A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (bipy)] n (3) have a trigonal prismatic metal coordination, [15a] which is different with respect to any other derivative containing variously substituted bipy ligands (pseudo-octahedral metal geometry). [15b] To our knowledge, this case has remained, at least till very recently, [16] an unique example of how p-p stacking can control the metal coordination mode. To confirm the point, the paper compares in detail several derivatives obtained from the same Mn-tda precursor and various N co-ligands.…”

“…Compared with hydrogen-bond-driven networks, supramolecular networks driven by stacking have received less attention. Theinteraction undoubtedly plays an important role in determining the arrangement of discrete molecular complexes in the solid state (Khavasi & Fard, 2010).…”
