A supramolecular synthon approach to aid the discovery of architectures sustained by C-H···M hydrogen bonds

Hydrogen bonding in the form of eight-membered {···HCNM}2 synthons is identified in the crystal structures of nickel and copper complexes. These C-H···M interactions lead to the formation of well-defined zero-, one- and even two-dimensional supramolecular aggregation patterns.
