(a)–(d) Supramolecular motifs formed by pairs of complex cations in the order of increasing Co⋯Co distance. The view is perpendicular to the phenanthroline ligand planes participating in an OFF interaction (see Comment). (e) Chains formed from an alternating succession of motifs (b) and (c). The third ligand is shown as a ball-and-stick model for clarity. |
