Metallophilic interactions between closed-shell metal centers are exemplified by d10ions, with Au(I) aurophilic interactions as the archetype. Such an interaction extends to d8species, and examples involving Au(III) are prevalent. Conversely, Ag(III) argentophilic interactions are uncommon. Here, we identify argentophilic interactions in silver corroles, which are authentic Ag(III) species. The crystal structure of a monomeric silver corrole is a dimer in the solid state, and the macrocycle exhibits an atypical domed conformation. In order to evaluate whether this represents an authentic metallophilic interaction or a crystal-packing artifact, the analogous cofacial or “pacman” corrole was prepared. The conformation of the monomer was recapitulated in the silver pacman corrole, exhibiting a short 3.67 Å distance between metal centers and a significant compression of the xanthene backbone. Theoretical calculations support the presence of a rare Ag(III)···Ag(III) argentophilic interaction in the pacman complex.
