Aromatic-aromatic interaction between metallacycle and phenyl ring

The X-ray crystal structure of [CuL2]ClO4 where L is the 1:1 condensate of benzil-monohydrazone and 2-pyridinecarboxalde-hyde, reveals unprecedented pi - pi interaction between the metallacycles and phenyl rings. The interaction is intramolecular. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
