Directional control of pi-stacked building blocks for crystal engineering: the 1,8-naphthalimide synthon.
Incorporating the 1,8-naphthalimide group into bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands triggers the association of their rhenium(i) complexes into directionally ordered dimers in both solution and solid state, as demonstrated by ES+/MS, PGSE-NMR and X-ray diffraction studies.
