Zinc(II) complexes of tetraphenylazadipyrromethenes are potential non-planar <i>n</i>-type conjugated materials. To tune the properties, we installed 5-quinolylethynyl groups at the pyrrolic positions. Compared to the complex with 1-napthylethynyl, we found evidence for stronger intermolecular interactions in the new complex, including much higher overlap integrals in crystals. X-ray analysis revealed unconventional C-H···N hydrogen bonding between two quinolyls of neighboring molecules, pointin ...[more]
