Abstract

Face-to-face perfluorophenyl-perfluorophenyl interactions (C6F5···C6F5) are achieved in a disilver metal-org. complex. The C6F5···C6F5 interactions along with argentophilic forces support trans-pentafluorostilbazole to undergo a head-to-head [2 + 2] photodimerization to form a cyclobutane that sustains a fluorinated two-dimensional metal-org. framework.
