Specific short contacts are important in crystal engineering. Hydrogen bonds have been particularly successful and together with halogen bonds can be useful for assembling small molecules or ions into crystals. The ionic constituents in the isomorphous 3,5-dichloropyridinium (3,5-diClPy) tetrahalometallates 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrachloridozincate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[ZnCl4] or (3,5-diClPy)2ZnCl4, 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrabromidozincate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[ZnBr4] or (3,5-diClPy)2ZnBr4, and 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrabromidocobaltate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[CoBr4] or (3,5-diClPy)2CoBr4, arrange according to favourable electrostatic interactions. Cations are preferably surrounded by anions and vice versa; rare cation–cation contacts are associated with an antiparallel dipole orientation. N—H...X (X = Cl and Br) hydrogen bonds and X...X halogen bonds compete as closest contacts between neighbouring residues. The former dominate in the title compounds; the four symmetrically independent pyridinium N—H groups in each compound act as donors in charge-assisted hydrogen bonds, with halogen ligands and the tetrahedral metallate anions as acceptors. The M—X coordinative bonds in the latter are significantly longer if the halide ligand is engaged in a classical X...H—N hydrogen bond. In all three solids, triangular halogen-bond interactions are observed. They might contribute to the stabilization of the structures, but even the shortest interhalogen contacts are only slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii.

The formation of a photoreactive cocrystal based upon 1,2-diiodoperchlorobenzene (1,2-C6I2Cl4 ) and trans-1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene (BPE) has been achieved. The resulting cocrystal, 2(1,2-C6I2Cl4 )·(BPE) or C6Cl4I2·0.5C12H10N2, comprises planar sheets of the components held together by the combination of I...N halogen bonds and halogen–halogen contacts. Notably, the 1,2-C6I2Cl4 molecules π-stack in a homogeneous and face-to-face orientation that results in an infinite column of the halogen-bond donor. As a consequence of this stacking arrangement and I...N halogen bonds, molecules of BPE also stack in this type of pattern. In particular, neighbouring ethylene groups in BPE are found to be parallel and within the accepted distance for a photoreaction. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the cocrystal undergoes a solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction that produces rctt-tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)cyclobutane (TPCB) with an overall yield of 89%. A solvent-free approach utilizing dry vortex grinding of the components also resulted in a photoreactive material with a similar yield.

Halogen bonding is the non-covalent interaction between the region of positive electrostatic potential associated with a covalently bonded halogen atom, named the σ-hole, and a Lewis base. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures are reported for a series of seven halogen-bonded cocrystals featuring 1,3,5-tris(iodoethynyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene (1) as the halogen-bond donor, and bromide ions (as ammonium or phosphonium salts) as the halogen-bond acceptors: (1)·MePh3PBr, (1)·EtPh3PBr, (1)·acetonyl-Ph3PBr, (1)·Ph4PBr, (1)·[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide, and two new polymorphs of (1)·Et3BuNBr. The cocrystals all feature moderately strong iodine–bromide halogen bonds. The crystal structure of pure [bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide is also reported. The results of a crystal engineering strategy of varying the size of the counter-cation are explored, and the features of the resulting framework materials are discussed. Given the potential utility of (1) in future crystal engineering applications, detailed NMR analyses (in solution and in the solid state) of this halogen-bond donor are also presented. In solution, complex13C and19F multiplets are explained by considering the delicate interplay between variousJcouplings and subtle isotope shifts. In the solid state, the formation of (1)·Et3BuNBr is shown through significant13C chemical shift changes relative to pure solid 1,3,5-tris(iodoethynyl)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene.

Two series of a total of ten cocrystals involving 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine with various carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The pyrimidine unit used for the cocrystals offers two ring N atoms (positions N1 and N3) as proton-accepting sites. Depending upon the site of protonation, two types of cations are possible [Rajam et al. (2017). Acta Cryst. C73, 862–868]. In a parallel arrangement, two series of cocrystals are possible depending upon the hydrogen bonding of the carboxyl group with position N1 or N3. In one series of cocrystals, i.e. 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–3-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 1, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 2, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid (1/1), 3, and 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2-aminobenzoic acid (1/1), 4, the carboxyl hydroxy group (–OH) is hydrogen bonded to position N1 (O—H...N1) of the corresponding pyrimidine unit (single point supramolecular synthon). The inversion-related stacked pyrimidines are doubly bridged by the carboxyl groups via N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a large cage-like tetrameric unit with an R 4 2(20) graph-set ring motif. These tetrameric units are further connected via base pairing through a pair of N—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating R 2 2(8) motifs (supramolecular homosynthon). In the other series of cocrystals, i.e. 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 5, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–benzoic acid (1/1), 6, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 7, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–3-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 8, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–4-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 9, and 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–4-aminobenzoic acid (1/1), 10, the carboxyl group interacts with position N3 and the adjacent 4-amino group of the corresponding pyrimidine ring via O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate the robust R 2 2(8) supramolecular heterosynthon. These heterosynthons are further connected by N—H...N hydrogen-bond interactions in a linear fashion to form a chain-like arrangement. In cocrystal 1, a Br...Br halogen bond is present, in cocrystals 2 and 3, Cl...Cl halogen bonds are present, and in cocrystals 5, 6 and 7, Cl...O halogen bonds are present. In all of the ten cocrystals, π–π stacking interactions are observed.

AbstractThe reaction of 1,9-diaminononane with hydroiodic acid in the presence of iodine gave a compound best described as 1,9-diammoniononane bis-triiodide iodine, (H3N-(CH2)9-NH3)[I3]2 · I2. The structure is built from two crystallographically independent I3− anions, which are connected via secondary I···I interactions to the iodine molecules, and the 1,9-diammonioalkane cations are connected via weak hydrogen bonds to neighbouring iodine atoms. By a cooperative phenomenon, the shape and the functionality of the cation lead to a solid state structure that includes a polyiodide substructure with the formula 2∞[I8]2− or 2∞[I3 · I2 · I3]2−, is best described as a brick-shaped layered array. Its rectangular pores fit excellently with the hydrogen bonding functionality as well as with the conformational needs of the 1,9-diammoniononane template. The Raman spectrum shows typical bands of coordinated triiodide anions and iodine molecules. The thermal analysis (DSC/TG) of the title compound indicates decomposition at temperatures above 210°C.

The cooperativity between hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds in X–HCN–Y ( X: C2H2, H2O, NH3, HCI, HCN, HF; Y: HF, BrF, Br2 is analyzed with MP2/6-311++G(d, p) and DFT/6-311++G(d, p) calculations using the B3LYP and mPW1PW91 hybrid functionals. The results from the quantum chemical calculations are typically clustered in groups according to the Y-ligand. By choosing the X–HCN–HF group as reference it is possible to describe the interaction between the hydrogen and the halogen bond with a two-parameter model. The value of the first parameter of the model describes the contribution of the X -ligand to the interbond cooperativity in the reference cluster. The second parameter of our model quantifies the changes in interbond cooperativity upon varying the Y -ligand. This simple model can be used to predict the cooperativity in X–HCN–Y trimers with reasonable accuracy and thereby to organize the results systematically. It is further shown that the conclusions drawn from this ordering scheme are independent from the computational method and thereby generally applicable.

The recognition mechanism of the urea-based involving Br derivation receptor (A) for the halogen anions through hydrogen bond and halogen bond was discussed by the density function Becke, three-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) method. The results showed that the guest-host recognition was performed by using four coordination weak bonds, which include two N-H...X hydrogen bonds and two C-Br...X halogen bonds (X= F-,Cl-,Br- and I-). The calculated interaction energies (ΔECP) with basis set super-position error (BSSE) correction of the four systems are-3.95, -82.43, -70.86 and 992.63 kJmol-1, respectively. So, the urea-based derivation receptor (A) presents the best recognition capable for the Br- and Cl-, and it can not recognize the I- in the same condition. Natural bond orbital theory (NBO) analysis has been used to investigate the electronic behavior and property of the red-shift N-H...X hydrogen bonds and two blue-shift C-Br...X halogen bonds in the A...X- systems.
