Crystal engineering focuses on the design of functional materials through recognition and description specific supramolecular synthons. In this study, we developed a series centrosymmetric cocrystal salt solvates (PPh4)3[M(CN)6](L)n·msolv [M = Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(III); L polyresorcinol coformers acting as multiple hydrogen bond donors: 3,3′,5,5′-tetrahydroxy-1,1′-biphenyl (DiR, n 1) or tetrakis(3′,5′-dihydroxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)methane (TetraRB, 1.5)] denoted MDiR′ MTetraRB, respectively. Both architectures feature trans-bis(chelated) {[M(CN)6]3–;(H2DiR)2(Hsolv)2} {[M(CN)6]3–;(H2TetraRB)2(HTetraRB)2} motifs within their hydrogen-bonded subnetworks, alternative complementary to relevant cis-bis(chelated) observed by us previously. phases appear due instability previously reported noncentrosymmetric MDiR in crystallization mixtures, both related structural isomers. MTetraRB crystals demonstrate coexistence above-mentioned synthons linear arrangement TetraRB coformers, controlled size, mutual interlocking, peripheral TetraRBO–H···OTetraRB bonds. The photoluminescent response is correlated with dimensionality bonds extent π orbital system L. A complete landscape synthon geometry, symmetry crystal lattice, stability, optical properties involving previous current congeners provided contribute roadmap rational construction materials.
