Supramolecular association of M2+⋯π induced by different electrostatic properties using naphthyl substituted β-diketonate complexes (metal = Cu, Pd, Pt)

Abstract

Expanded π-conjugated coordination complexes, [M(L2)2] (M = Cu2+, Pd2+, Pt2+; L2 = dinaphthoylmethanido−), were prepared and their unique electron contributions and electrophile/nucleophile characteristics were found due to the supramolecular associations.
