Synthesis, X-ray characterization, and DFT calculations of gold–nucleobase complexes: on the importance of regium bonds and anion–π interactions
Two novel Au( iii )–cytosine complexes were synthesized and structurally characterized. Solid-state analysis and DFT calculations reveal the key role of π-hole regium bonds and anion–π interactions in directing supramolecular assembly.
