ABSTRACT
Charge-transfer (CT) complexes, formed by noncovalent bonding between electron-rich (donor, D) and electron-deficient (acceptor, A) molecules (or moieties) have attracted considerable attention due to their fascinating structures and potential applications. Herein, we demonstrate that anion coordination is a promising strategy to promote CT complex formation between anion-binding, electron-rich tris(urea) donor ligands (D) and electron-deficient viologen cation acceptors (A), which form co-crystals featuring infinite â

or discrete (circular DADA or three-decker DAD) π-stacking interactions. These CT complexes were studied by X-ray diffraction, UV/Vis spectroscopy, electric conductivity measurements, charge displacement curve (CDC) calculations, and DFT computations.
