Supramolecular isomerism…
“ is the existence of more than one type of network superstructures for the same molecular building blocks”
“all sets of polymorphs can therefore be regarded as being supramolecular isomers of one another”
B. Moulton, M.J. Zaworotko, Chem. Rev., 101, 1629-1658 (2001)

tetrahedral anion: cis
• e-f additional interaction
• supramolecular chirality
• pseudo twofold symmetry
• tetrahedral imprinting (angle between molecular long axes)=109°
octahedral anion: trans
•centre of symmetry
•octahedral imprinting

Engineering of supramolecular isomers
Engineering of supramolecular isomers starting from the synthons
The observed structures are generated by propagating the synthons via inversion centre on Ag atoms
![Page 13: Deconvolution of supramolecular synthons and analysis of supramolecular isomerism for wheel-and-axle silver complexes Alessia Bacchi, Elsa Bosetti University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649cd65503460f9499e357/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Engineering of supramolecular isomers
We want to combine the supramolecular synthons according to other symmetry elements compatible with the molecular structure, to generate a landscape of possible alternative supramolecular formats

Engineering of supramolecular isomers
In the observed structures both the cations are centrosymmetric.

Conclusions
• local (< 3.6Å) and medium range (< 5.5 Å) metal environment is identical
• Anions make the difference
• BF4 gives a cis –OH…F-X-F…HO- synthon
• PF6 gives a trans –OH…F-X-F…HO- synthon
• Zig-zag chains of –OH…F H-bonds with cis/trans geometry are observed
• other combinations have been generated to explore possible supramolecular isomerism
