Herring-bone π–π interactions. The values indicate centre-to-centre distances (Å) between interacting aromatic pairs. (a) The association of molecules into dimers (diads) and cyclic edge-to-face tetrameric arrangements of aromatic clusters. (b) The similar edge-to-face tetrameric arrangement for the symmetrical stereoisomer (II), reported by Narasimhamurthy et al. (2000). |
