The metal-carbonyl···π(aryl) interaction as a supramolecular synthon for the stabilisation of transition metal carbonyl crystal structures.
M-carbonyl(lone pair)···π(aryl) interactions provide stability to their transition metal crystal structures. This supramolecular synthon usually leads to zero- or one-dimensional aggregation patterns; a rare example of a three-dimensional architecture based on the M-CO(lone pair)···π(aryl) synthon has also been revealed.
