Popis: π-Extended acenaphtho[1,2-d][1,2,3]triazoles, the unsubstituted Anta-H and its di-tert-butyl derivative Dibanta-H, as well as 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[2,3-d][1,2,3]triazole Cybta-H were obtained in concise syntheses. In the solid state, Dibanta-H forms an unprecedented hydrogen-bonded cyclic tetrad, stabilized by dispersion interactions of the bulky tBu substituents, whereas a cyclic triad was found in the crystal structure of Anta-H. These cyclic assemblies form infinite slipped stacks in the crystals. Evidence for analogous hydrogen-bonded self-assembly in solution was provided by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy and computational analyses. Kuratowski-type pentanuclear complexes [Zn5 Cl4 (Dibanta)6 ] and [Zn5 Cl4 (Cybta)6 ] were prepared from the respective triazoles. In the Dibanta complexes, the π-aromatic surfaces of the ligands extend from the edges of the tetrahedral Zn5 core, yielding an enlarged structure with significant internal molecular free volume and red-shifted fluorescence.
