Abstract

Abstract : Structural diversity is achieved in a series of halogen-bonded co-crystals based upon cooperative non-covalent interactions and the synthetic feed of the components. Abstract : The formation of three co-crystals based upon a pair of isosteric halogen-bond donors, namely 1, 4-diiodoperchlorobenzene and 1, 4-diiodoperfluorobenzene, along with the acceptor trans -1-(4-methylbenzoate)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene is reported. Along with the varied stoichiometric ratios of the components, the ability of 1, 4-diiodoperchlorobenzene to engage in cooperative Cl⋯O halogen bonds while 1, 4-diiodoperfluorobenzene forms C–H⋯F interactions leads to the structural diversity of these co-crystals.
