Steric Hindrance and Secondary Interactions Govern Reconfiguration Between Two Complex CuI Coordination Cages

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fine‐tuning steric and C─H···π contacts directs assembly of two CuI cages. An identical naphthylene‐based subcomponent forms a [CuI12L6]12+ pseudo‐hexagonal prism stabilized by 29–32 C─H···π contacts and 12 arene stacking pairs with 6‐methyl‐2‐formylpyridine, whereas the 3‐methyl analog imparts steric clashes, yielding a [CuI8L4]8+ open prism ...
