Abstract
We present a crystalline mate strategy for the structure elucidation of hard-to-crystallize indole derivatives through cocrystallization with a strong π-acidic Ag(I) cyclic trinuclear complex (Ag3). This approach enables the successful supramolecular stacking of the low-π-basic indole derivatives with the Ag3 complex by leveraging noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, highlighting the potential of the crystalline-mate strategy for constructing functional cocrystals.
