The likelihood of occurrence of intermolecular contacts in crystals of halogenated organic compounds has been analysed statistically using tools based on the Hirshfeld surface. Several families of small halogenated molecules (containing organic F, Cl, Br or I atoms) were analysed, based on chemical composition and aromatic or aliphatic character. The behaviour of crystal contacts was also probed for molecules containing O or N. So-called halogen bonding (a halogen making short interactions with O or N, or a π interaction with C) is generally disfavoured, except when H is scarce on the molecular surface. Similarly, halogen...halogen contacts are more rare than expected, except for molecules that are poor in H. In general, the H atom is found to be the preferred partner of organic halogen atoms in crystal structures. On the other hand, C...C interactions in parallel π-stacking have a high propensity to occur in halogenated aromatic molecules. The behaviour of the four different halogen species (F, Cl, Br, I) is compared in several chemical composition contexts. The analysis tool can be refined by distinguishing several types for a given chemical species, such as H atoms bound to O or C. Such distinction shows, for instance, that C—H...Cl and O—H...O are the preferred interactions in compounds containing both O and Cl.

The revived interest in halogen bonding as a tool in pharmaceutical cocrystals and drug design has indicated that cyano–halogen interactions could play an important role. The crystal structures of four closely related δ-keto esters, which differ only in the substitution at a single C atom (by H, OMe, Cl and Br), are compared, namely ethyl 2-cyano-5-oxo-5-phenyl-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H22N2O3, (1), ethyl 2-cyano-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C20H24N2O4, (2), ethyl 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-cyano-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H21ClN2O3, (3), and the previously published ethyl 5-(4-bromophenyl)-2-cyano-5-oxo-3-(piperidin-1-yl)pent-2-enoate, C19H21BrN2O3, (4) [Maurya, Vasudev & Gupta (2013).RSC Adv.3, 12955–12962]. The molecular conformations are very similar, while there are differences in the molecular assemblies. Intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds are found to be the primary interactions in the crystal packing and are present in all four structures. The halogenated derivatives have additional aromatic–aromatic interactions and cyano–halogen interactions, further stabilizing the molecular packing. A database analysis of cyano–halogen interactions using the Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Groom & Allen (2014).Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.53, 662–671] revealed that about 13% of the organic molecular crystals containing both cyano and halogen groups have cyano–halogen interactions in their packing. Three geometric parameters for the C—X...N[triple-bond]C interaction (X = F, Cl, Br or I),viz.the N...Xdistance and the C—X...N and C—N...Xangles, were analysed. The results indicate that all the short cyano–halogen contacts in the CSD can be classified as halogen bonds, which are directional noncovalent interactions.

Materials that lack inversion symmetry (noncentrosymmetric) demonstrate a diversity of desirable optical and electronic properties in bulk such as second harmonic generation, chiral emission, and piezo-, pyro-, and ferro-electricity. Unfortunately, it is challenging to reliably access noncentrosymmetric packing motifs because the closest packing of molecules is often achieved through inversion symmetry operators, leading to the relatively low occurrence of noncentrosymmetry in organic crystals. In this study, the occurrence of noncentrosymmetry in materials that adopt planar packing motifs is investigated because molecular species achieve closest packing in two dimensions through rotations and (or) glides, symmetry operators that do not individually lead to centrosymmetry. It is found that of the 18 crystal structures investigated here adopting planar packing motifs, 13 structures (72%) are noncentrosymmetric showing in-plane polarization. The 13 noncentrosymmetric crystal structures differ from the centrosymmetric structures by directional halogen bonding interactions or steric collisions that align the polarization directions of neighboring layers, leading to bulk structural polarity. The results from this investigation will be of use for designing noncentrosymmetric materials for application in optical and electronic devices.
