Multiple CH···O interactions involving glycol chains as driving force for the self-assembly of amphiphilic Pd(II) complexes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 11;50(87):13366-9. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06152g. Epub 2014 Sep 18.

Abstract

We demonstrate that the self-assembly in polar media and gelation of an amphiphilic Pd(II) complex with pendant chlorine ligands are governed by cooperative intra- and interstrand CH···O interactions between peripheral triethylene glycol chains leading to slipped π-stacks.
