A series of FeIII thiosemicarbazone complexes featuring novel 1,8-naphthalimide sulfonate-based anions was prepared, and the structure directing properties were investigated. The designer naphthalimide-based anions show interesting structure extension though π-stacking in the solid state. In addition, a long chain sulfonate anion was incorporated to introduce amphiphilicity to the complex and allow for formation of Langmuir−Blodgett films.
