The use of labile As-S bond formation in the self-assembly of discrete supramolecular structures is extended. Macrocyclic structures of chemical formula As2L2Cl2 (H2L=alpha,alpha'-dimercapto-p-xylene) were prepared and characterized. Diastereomeric syn and anti isomers of these macrocycles were selectively crystallized and characterized in the solid state using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both the syn and anti macrocycles show close contacts between the arsenic(III) ions and the aromatic carbons, consistent with intramolecular arsenic-pi interactions. The dynamic behavior of the isomers in solution is also investigated. anti-As2L2Cl2.AsCl3 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (No. 14) with a=10.6194(5) A, b=16.7780(9) A, c=8.5725(4) A, beta=100.6830(10) degrees, and Z=2. syn-As2L2Cl2 crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with a=10.8881(8) A, b=19.3511(14) A, c=9.9524(7) A, and Z=4.
不稳定的砷 - 硫键形成在离散超分子结构自组装中的应用得到了拓展。制备并表征了化学式为As₂L₂Cl₂(H₂L = α,α'-二巯基对二甲苯)的大环结构。这些大环的非对映体顺式和反式异构体通过单晶X射线衍射在固态下被选择性结晶并表征。顺式和反式大环都显示出砷(III)离子与芳族碳之间的紧密接触,这与分子内砷 - π相互作用一致。还研究了异构体在溶液中的动态行为。反式 - As₂L₂Cl₂·AsCl₃在单斜空间群P2(1)/c(编号14)中结晶,a = 10.6194(5) Å,b = 16.7780(9) Å,c = 8.5725(4) Å,β = 100.6830(10)°,Z = 2。顺式 - As₂L₂Cl₂在正交空间群Pnma(编号62)中结晶,a = 10.8881(8) Å,b = 19.3511(14) Å,c = 9.9524(7) Å,Z = 4。
