Arene–perfluoroarene interactions for crystal engineering of metal complexes: Controlled self-assembly of paddle-wheel dimers

Abstract

We show a new approach to control the self-assembly of paddle-wheel dimers by intermolecular multipoint arene–perfluoroarene interactions. Two types of complexes, I-shaped Rh2(O2CCF3)2(L)2(3-pentanone)2 (1) and cross-shaped Cu2(L)4(THF)2 (2) were synthesized to afford 1D chain and 2D square-grid sheet structures, respectively.
