Unusual face-to-face π–π stacking interactions within an indigo-pillared M3(tpt)-based triangular metalloprism

Abstract

A triangular metalloprism, [{(CO)3Re(μ-2)Re(CO)3}33-1)2], self-assembled from Re2(CO)10, 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine (tpt, 1), and indigo (H22), represents a fairly novel example of strong face-to-face π–π interactions between the central triazine rings of the tpt ligands that bow significantly inward distorting the prismatic structure.
