In this study, ion pairs of 10-oxacorrole AgIII complex as an aromatic [17]oxaannulene were synthesized, leveraging its small inner cavity. The cation formed solid-state ion-pairing assemblies whose packing structures were governed by the stacking of π-planes along with dipole-dipole, hydrogen-bonding, and C-H···π interactions, depending on the counteranions. The 10-oxacorrole AgIII complex deviated from planarity due to the insertion of a relatively large AgIII into the confined cavity. Theoretical studies of packing structures have revealed that ion-pairing assemblies can be constructed by combining electrostatic and dispersion forces controlled by the location and spatial arrangement of the constituent charged species.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
