Construction of the multidecker anthracene-silver(I) system by intramolecular pi-pi interactions.
As a continuation of the study on the construction of the multidecker aromatic compounds with pi-pi interactions, the anthracene derivatives 9,10-dimethylanthracene (dman), 9,10-diphenylanthracene (dpan), and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (dmban) have been studied toward complexation with the silver(I) ion. The crystal structures of [Ag(dman)(0.5)(p-xylene)(ClO(4))], [Ag(2)(dpan)(0.5)(C(6)H(6))(0.5)(CF(3)SO(3))(2)], and [Ag(2)(dmban)(2)(ClO(4))(2)](p-xylene), together with the metal-free ligand dpan, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These pi-electron-rich aromatic compounds are found to have great promise as an approach to the effective self-assembly of high nuclearity in a multilayer fashion.
