Unprecedented social self-sorting occurs during the reaction of Ag2O with two trisimidazolium salts featuring either an electron-poor H3-A1(BF4)3 or an electron-rich H3-D1(BF4)3 backbone to give the heteroligand assembly [Ag3(A1)(D1)](BF4)3 most likely driven by π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions between the electron-rich and electron-poor ligand backbone groups.
Abstract
Homoleptic and heteroleptic cylinder-shaped poly-NHC metallosupramolecular assemblies [Ag3(L)2](BF4)3 have been prepared by control of the shape, size, and electronic properties of disk-shaped trisimidazolium salts of type H3-L(BF4)3. Both imidazolium salts with an electron-deficient triazine backbone H3-A(BF4)3 or an electron-rich benzene backbone H3-D(BF4)3 have been employed. Reaction of H3-A(BF4)3 or H3-D(BF4)3 with Ag2O yield trinuclear homoligand complexes [Ag3(L)2](BF4)3 (L=A, D). However, equimolar mixtures of H3-A(BF4)3 and H3-D(BF4)3 react with Ag2O under social self-sorting to give the heteroligand assembly [Ag3(A)(D)](BF4)3. The same heteroligand assembly was obtained by transmetallation from mixtures of complexes [Ag3(A)2](BF4)3 and [Ag3(D)2](BF4)3. The transmetallation from [Ag3(A)(D)](BF4)3 to [Au3(A)(D)](BF4)3 is also demonstrated. The study expands to concepts of narcissistic and social self-sorting from classical Werner-type ligands to organometallic NHC chemistry thereby opening new routes for the construction of poly-NHC metal assemblies with increasing complexity.
