Graphical Abstract

Das Komprimieren einer parallelen vierfachen Phenylwechselwirkung zweier Kationen in [Pd([9]aneS3)(PPh3)2](PF6)2 ([9]aneS3=1,4,7-Trithiacyclononan) führt zu π⋅⋅⋅π-Stapelwechselwirkungen und einer begleitenden Pyramidalisierung am ipso-C-Atom eines der Phenylringe. Diese durch Druck ausgelösten Änderungen wurden mithilfe einer Hirshfeld-Oberflächenanalyse, Dichtefunktionalrechnungen und einer NBO-Analyse erklärt.
