Compound L crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pbcn, orthorhombic, a=31.930(13) Å, b=7.153(3) Å, c=14.193(6) Å, α=90.00, β=90.00, γ=90.00, V=3220(2) Å3, Z=9. π−π stacking contacts involving interactions between the π-donor benzene and the π-acceptor pyridine systems reinforce and direct the self-assembly of the structural motifs in the solid state. Keywords: Sulfonate, Water-soluble Ligand, π−π Stacking, Michael-type Addition. Introduction Water-soluble ligands and the corresponding derived catalysts are of great interest for aqueous catalysis. Typically there are many mor
