The title dihaloaniline, C(6)H(5)ClIN, shows no significant hydrogen bonds nor the commonly observed I⋯I inter-actions in the crystal structure, although an amino group and an I atom are available for such contacts. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-actions involving the amine functionality as donor group and N or halogen atoms as acceptors.

UV-Vis measurements showed that the interaction of pseudohalide anions, A(-) (A(-) = N3(-), NCO(-), NCS(-)), with electrophilic bromocarbons, R-Br (R-Br = CBr4, CBr3NO2, CBr3CONH2, CBr3H, CBr3F, CBr3CN or C3Br2F6), in solution results in formation of [R-Br, A(-)] complexes. These associates are characterized by intense absorption bands in the 200-350 nm range showing distinct Mulliken correlati...

Crystals of bis-(tetra-butyl-ammonium) di-μ3-chlorido--tris-(μ2-4-iodo-pyrazolato-κ2N:N')tris-[chlorido-cuprate(II)] 1,4-dioxane hemisolvate, (C16H36N)2[Cu3(C3H2IN2)3Cl5]·0.5C4H8O or (Bu4N)2[CuII3(μ3-Cl)2(μ-4-I-pz)3Cl3]·0.5C4H8O, were obtained by evaporating a solution of (Bu4N)2[{CuII(μ-OH)(μ-4-I-pz)} n CO3] (n = 27-31) nanojars in chloro-form/1,4-dioxane. The decomposition of chloro-form in t...

a quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular f•••f, br•••br and br•••o interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (bfnb). this system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. we found that fluorine atoms have weak ...

Aryl-bromine bonds are successfully cleaved by cobalt(II) porphyrins in basic media to give Co(por)Ar (por = porphyrin) in good yields. Mechanistic studies suggested that the aryl-bromine bond is cleaved through a halogen atom transfer mechanism, which is different from the aryl-halogen bond cleavage mechanism with other group 9 metalloporphyrins.

The crystal structures of the 3-halopyridinium hexachloroplatinate(IV) dihydrates (HPyX-3)(2)[PtCl(6)]x2H(2)O [(1), X = Br; (2a), (2b), X = I] comprise networks in which the molecular components are linked via N-H...O and O-H...Cl-Pt hydrogen bonds and Pt-Cl...X-C halogen bonds (X = Br, I). The iodo derivative has been isolated in two polymorphic forms. Of particular interest to the understandi...

The halogen bonding (XB) between 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,2-DITFB) or 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,4-DITFB) and the selection of different thiocarbonyl acceptors was studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. Diiodotetrafluorobenzenes (DITFBs) were found to form C-I···S halogen-bonded 1:1, 2:1, 1:2 (donor/acceptor ratio) complexes with thiocarbonyls. Lengths contacts be clear...

The crystallization of a 1:1 molar solution of 1,2-di-iodo-3,4,5,6-tetra-fluoro-benzene (o-DITFB) and tetra-butyl-ammonium bromide (n-Bu4NBr) from di-chloro-methane yielded pure white crystals of a halogen-bonded compound, C16H36N(+)·Br(-)·C6F4I2·0.5CH2Cl2 or [(n-Bu4NBr)(o-DITFB)]·0.5CH2Cl2. The compound may be described as a quaternary system and may be classified as a salt-cocrystal solvate. ...

A series of four bifunctional ligands based on β-diketonate moieties bearing methyl (2), chloro (3), bromo (4) and iodo (5) substituents and their corresponding Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized in order to explore the possibility of using halogen bonds for the directed assembly of predictable architectures in coordination chemistry. The four ligands ...
