3. X-Ray diffraction analysis of (P)-3a The crystal data of (P)-3a were collected on a Bruker X8APEX diffractometer with a CC area detector and multi-layer mirror monochromated Mo Kα radiation. The structure was solved using direct methods, refined with the Shelx software package (Sheldrick, G., Acta Cryst. 28, A64, 112 122) and expanded using Fourier techniques. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were included in structure factors calculations. All hydrogen atoms were assigned to idealized geometric positions. Crystal data for (P)-3a: C 52 H 44 N 2 O 9, M r = 84.89, red square,.29.11.11 mm 3, monoclinic space group C2, a = 21.7834(8) Å, b = 2.2725(7) Å, c = 21.9159(8) Å, β = 116.475(2), V = 8663.2(5) Å 3, Z = 8, ρ calcd = 1.289 g cm 3, µ =.88 mm 1, F() = 3536, T = 1(2) K, R 1 =.911, wr 2 =.2431, 8996 independent reflections [2θ 52.5 ] and 1127 parameters. Crystallographic data have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic ata Center as supplementary publication no. CCC 818346. These data can be obtained free of charge from the Cambridge Crystallographic ata Centre via www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/data_request/cif. The crystals were grown from dichloromethane/ethanol mixture and includ solvent molecules. As the geometry of both used solvents is similar, it was not possible to precisely localize them in four accessible voids. The Platon squeeze function was used to remove contribution of the solvent to the structure factors (Sluis, P. v. d.; A. L. Spek, A. L. Acta Cryst. 199, A46, 194 21). The both perylene bisimide molecules found in asymmetrical unit show librational movements. The rigid-body analysis (Schomaker, V.; Trueblood, K. N. Acta Cryst. 1968, B24, 63 76) reveals that a center which gives symmetric rotation tensor is placed unsymmetrical above perylene bisimide system (see Figure S3. The calculation with disordered model of rigid molecules with additional isotropic restrains gives quite reasonable R 1 index of around 1%, i.e. 2% worse than from anisotropic refinement (see Figure S3.
