In this work, the cooperative effects between anion−π and fluorine bond interactions are studied by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-311++G** level. Cooperative effects are observed in complexes in which anion−π and fluorine bond interactions coexist. For each complex, the shortening of the binding distance in the fluorine bond is more prominent than that in the anion−π bond. Favorable cooperativity energies are found with values that range between –0.51 and –0.76 kcal/mol. The atoms in molecules and molecular electrostatic potential analyses are carried out for these complexes to understand the nature of anion−π and fluorine bond interactions and the origin of the cooperativity.

The introduction of a chemical additive to supramolecular polymers holds high potential in the development of new structures and functions. In this regard, various donor- and acceptor-based molecules have been applied in the design of these noncovalent polymers. However, the incorporation of boron–nitrogen frustrated Lewis pairs in such architectures is still rare despite their many intriguing properties in catalysis and materials science. The limited choices of suitable boron derivatives represent one of the main limitations for the advancement in this direction. Here, we examine the use of the commercially available tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane with various triphenylamine derivatives to create supramolecular B–N charge transfer systems. Our results highlight the importance of a proper balance between the donor/acceptor strength and the driving force for supramolecular polymerization to achieve stable, long-range ordered B–N systems. Detailed analyses using electron paramagnetic resonance and optical spectroscopy suggest that tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane displays complex behavior with the amide-based triphenylamine supramolecular polymers and may interact in dimers or larger chiral aggregates, depending on the specific structure of the triphenylamines.
