The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H15ClTe, contains two molecules which are in inverted orientations. The compound displays a tetrahedral geometry around the Te atom in spite of there being five electron domains. This is attributed to the fact that the lone pair is not sterically active. The dihedral angles between the three phenyl rings are 76.51 (16)/73.75 (16)/71.06 (17) and 78.60 (17)/77.67 (16)/79.11 (16)° in the two molecules. The crystal packing features eight C—H...π interactions.

Reactions between Zn(II) dihalides and 2-halogen-substituted pyridines 2-XPy result in a series of heteroleptic molecular complexes [(2-XPy)2ZnY2] (Y = Cl, X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3); Y = Br, X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6), Y = I, X = Cl (7), Br (8), and I (9)). Moreover, 1–7 are isostructural (triclinic), while 8 and 9 are monoclinic. In all cases, halogen bonding plays an important role in formation of crystal packing. Moreover, 1–9 demonstrate luminescence in asolid state; for the best emitting complexes, quantum yield (QY) exceeds 21%.

The title compound, C19H23N3S, is a functionalized triazoline-3-thione derivative. The benzyl ring is almost normal to the planar 1,2,4-triazole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) with a dihedral angle of 86.90 (7)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of N—H...S hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers that encloseR22(8) loops. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak C—H...π interactions that link adjacent dimeric units into supramolecular chains extending along thea-axis direction.

The title compound, C15H14N2O2, was obtained from the reaction of 3-hydroxybenzaldhyde and 4-methylbenzohydrazide in methanol. In the molecule, the benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 2.9 (3)°. In the crystal, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into layers parallel to (101). The crystal packing also exhibits π–π interactions between the aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.686 (4) Å].

In this work, we report the cocrystallization of N9-ethyladenine with 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene (TFDIB), a classical XB donor. As far as our knowledge extends, this is the first cocrystal reported to date where an adenine derivative acts as a halogen bond acceptor. In the solid state, each adenine ring forms two centrosymmetric H-bonded dimers: one using N1···HA6–N6 and the other N7···HB6–N6. Therefore, only N3 is available as a halogen bond acceptor that, indeed, establishes an N···I halogen bonding interaction with TFDIB. The H-bonded dimers and halogen bonds have been investigated via DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations and the Bader’s Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) method at the B3LYP/6-311+G* level of theory. The influence of H-bonding interactions on the lone pair donor ability of N3 has also been analyzed using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface calculations.
