Abstract

We present the synthesis and oxoanion-assembling properties of a monomer with a naphthalene ring as a central core decorated with two arms containing iodotriazolium rings as anion binding sites. Interactions with SO42-, H2PO4-, and HP2O73- anions, via a cooperative mechanism, afforded new supramolecular materials stabilized by a combination of halogen- and hydrogen-bonding interactions. 1H NMR experiments and solid-state structure provided evidence for the initial formation of a supramolecular linear chain, nucleation step, and then two different supramolecular chains are interpenetrated with each other, elongation steps, involving the formation of hydrogen bonds between two oxygens of the anion from one of the chains and the naphthalene inner protons from the other chain. Scanning electron microscopy studies revealed that the morphology of the crystals changed dramatically with the nature of the anion added.
