Abstract

A powerful new synthetic method allows for the exploration of an interesting class of rubidium diphenylmethanides showing different solid-state modifications depending on the crystallization temperatures. Theoretical and structural analysis in the solution and the solid state leads to a broader understanding of metal-ligand binding modes.
