Metalation of a Hierarchical Self-Assembly Consisting of Iπ/I-Stacked Cubes through Single-Crystal-to-Single-Crystal Transformation

Single-crystal-to-single-crystal metalation of organic ligands represents a novel method to prepare metal–organic complexes, but remains challenging.

Description
Summary:Single-crystal-to-single-crystal metalation of organic ligands represents a novel method to prepare metal–organic complexes, but remains challenging. Herein, a hierarchical self-assembly {(H[sub.12]L[sub.8])·([N(C[sub.2]H[sub.5])[sub.4]][sup.+])[sub.3]·(ClO[sub.4] [sup.−])[sub.15]·(H[sub.2]O)[sub.32]} (1) (L = tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl) amine) consisting of π-stacked cubes which are assembled from eight partially protonated L ligands is obtained. By soaking the crystals of compound 1 in the aqueous solution of Co(SCN)[sub.2], the ligands coordinate with Co[sup.2+] ions stoichiometrically and ClO[sub.4] [sup.−] exchange with SCN[sup.−] via single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation, leading to {([CoSCNL][sup.+])[sub.8]·([NC[sub.8]H[sub.20]][sup.+])[sub.3]·(SCN)[sub.11]·(H[sub.2]O)[sub.13]} (2).
