In the title compound, C11H7ClO3, a chlorinated and methyl-ated 3-formyl-chromone derivative, the non-H atoms are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0670 Å), with the largest deviation from the least-squares plane [0.2349 (17) Å] being for the pyran carbonyl O atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through π-π stacking inter-actions along the a axis [centroid-centroid distance betw...

Halogen bonding is a well-established and intensively studied intermolecular interaction that has also been used in the preparation of functional materials. While polyfluoroiodo- and polyfluorobromobenzenes have been widely used as aromatic halogen-bond donors, there have been very few studies of iodoimidazoles with regard to halogen bonding. We describe here the X-ray structures of three iodoi...

In addition to the standard halogen bond formed when NH3 approaches XCN (X = F, Cl, Br, I) along its molecular axis, a perpendicular approach is also possible, toward a π-hole that is present above the X-C bond. MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ calculations indicate the latter geometry is favored for X = F, and the σ-hole structure is preferred for the heavier halogens. The π-hole structure is stabilized by cha...

Hydrogen and halogen bonds are important anisotropic attractive interactions in the molecular crystalline state. 2,6-dibromophenol (1) was analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction for first time. The intermolecular interaction pattern studied Hirshfeld surface analysis along with 2D fingerprint diagrams. characteristic that dominate crystal packing electrostatic type-II Br⋅⋅⋅Br interactions...

The title compound, C(14)H(11)BrClN(3)O, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-N⋯Br halogen bonds, as well as weak methyl-ene C-H⋯π, phenyl C-H⋯π, C-H⋯Br and phenyl C-H⋯O(ether) inter-actions.

In the title compound, C10H4Cl2O3, a dichlorinated 3-formyl-chromone derivative, the fused-ring system is slightly puckered [dihedral angle between the benzene and pyran rings = 3.66 (10)°]. The dihedral angle between the pyran ring and the formyl plane is 8.64 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance between the benzene and pyra...

We have investigated the influence of electron density on the three-center [N-I-N](+) halogen bond. A series of [bis(pyridine)iodine](+) and [1,2-bis((pyridine-2-ylethynyl)benzene)iodine](+) BF4(-) complexes substituted with electron withdrawing and donating functionalities in the para-position of their pyridine nitrogen were synthesized and studied by spectroscopic and computational methods. T...

We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two indole derivatives, namely a second monoclinic polymorph of ethyl 5-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate C11H10ClNO2, (I), and ethyl 5-chloro-3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxyl-ate, C11H9ClINO2, (II). In their crystal structures, both compounds form inversion dimers linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate R 2 (2)(10) loops. The dimers ...

The aim of this study is to describe and compare the supramolecular interactions, in the solid state, of chloro-, bromo-, and iodobenzothiophene diols. The compounds were obtained through organo-catalyzed reactions starting from 3-substituted halobenzothiophene carbaldehydes. Energies of the noncovalent interactions were obtained by density functional theory calculations. Bond distances and ang...
