Unusual face-to-face pi-pi stacking interactions within an indigo-pillared M3(tpt)-based triangular metalloprism.
A triangular metalloprism, [((CO)3Re(mu-2)Re(CO)3)3(mu3-1)2], self-assembled from Re2(CO)10, 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (tpt, 1), and indigo (H2(2)), represents a fairly novel example of strong face-to-face pi-pi interactions between the central triazine rings of the tpt ligands that bow significantly inward distorting the prismatic structure.
