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.

The attempted synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilised dicarbon (C2) fragments via nucleophilic substitution at 1,2-diiodoethane is reported. Rather than the expected SN2 pathway, clean elimination of ethene and formation of an iodoimidazolium cation was observed. The resistance towards nucleophilic substitution piqued interest, and subsequent investigation determined NHC-halogen bonding as the source. This is in contrast to reactions between NHCs and other alkyl halides, where substitution or elimination pathways are reported. A detailed theoretical study between these cases highlights the importance of iodine as a halogen bond donor compared with other halogens, and shows that NHCs are excellent halogen bond acceptors. This reactivity suggests potential for application of the halogen bonding interaction between NHCs and organic compounds.

Halogen bonding interaction (X-Bond) is prevalent over hydrogen bonding (H-Bond) interaction in [CH3OH–CCl4] mixtures/clusters: consequence in polar/non-polar mixtures and/or corresponding complexes in atmosphere needs to be investigated.

The geometries and energetics of molecular self-assembly structures that contain a sequential network of cyclic halogen-bonding interactions are investigated theoretically. The strength of the halogen-bonding interactions is assessed by examining binding energies, electron charge transfer (NBO analysis) and electron density at halogen-bond critical points (AIM theory). Specifically, structural motifs having intramolecular N—X...N (X= Cl, Br, or I) interactions and the ability to drive molecular self-assemblyviathe same type of interactions are used to construct larger self-assemblies of up to three unit motifs. N—X...N halogen-bond cooperativity as a function of the self-assembly size, and the nature of the halogen atom is also examined. The cyclic network of the halogen-bonding interactions provides a suitable cavity rich in electron density (from the halogen atom lone pairs not involved in the halogen bonds) that can potentially bind an electron-deficient species such as a metal ion. This possibility is explored by examining the ability of the N—X...N network to bind Na+. Likewise, molecular self-assembly structures driven by the weaker C—X...N halogen-bonding interactions are investigated and the results compared with those of their N—X...N counterparts.
