Crystal structures of 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexa-methyl-5,6,11,12,17,18-hexa-aza-tri-naphthyl-ene and 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexa-phenyl-5,6,11,12,17,18-hexa-za-tri-naphthyl-ene di-chloro-methane disolvate.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structures of two substituted HATN (hexa-aza-tri-naphthyl-ene) derivatives, namely 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexa-methyl- and 2,3,8,9,14,15-hexa-phenyl-5,6,11,12,17,18- hexa-zatri-naphthyl-ene (HATNMe₆ and HATNPh₆), are reported. Whereas the structure of the methyl-substituted derivative (HATNMe₆) contains no solvent mol-ecules (C₃₀H₂₄N₆), the hexa-phenyl-substituted structure (HATNPh₆) contains two mol-ecules of di-chloro-methane (C₆₀H₃₆N₆·2CH₂Cl₂). This class of planar bridging ligands is known for its electron-deficient systems and its ability to form π-π stacking inter-actions. Indeed, in both crystal structures strong π-π stacking inter-actions are observ
