J. Burdeniuc et al., AROMATIC STACKING BETWEEN FERROCENE AND PERFLUOROPHENANTHRENE TO GIVEA 2-SUPRAMOLECULAR ASSEMBLY IN THE SOLID-STATE(2), Bulletin de la Societe chimique de France, 134(10-11), 1997, pp. 955-958
The title compounds assemble in the solid state to give a 2 + 2 assemb
ly in which two ferrocene units join two perfluorophenanthrene units v
ia face-to-face aromatic stacking without mutual offset of the rings.
The metallocene-perfluoroarene pair may be a useful general design ele
ment for supramolecular assemblies.
