AB - Stacking interactions in the crystal structures of square‐planar transition metal complexes from the Cambridge Structural Database with five‐ and six‐membered chelate rings fused with C6‐arom rings (arom = aromatic) were analyzed. The distribution of distances between the closest C6‐arom–C6‐arom and C6‐arom–chelate contacts shows that in a large fraction of the intermolecular interactions the C6‐arom ring of one molecule is closer to the chelate than to the C6‐arom ring of the other molecule. These results indicate a possible preference of the C6‐arom ring to form stacking contacts with the chelate rings. The preference is ubiquitous and does not depend on the metal type.
