Solid-state photocycloaddition reactions between di-2-pyrones (1a-d) with benzophenone (2a) gave the corresponding oxetane derivatives (3a-d; 1:2 adducts) with high site- and regioselectivity across the C5-C6 and C5′-C6′ double bonds in 1 via the triplet excited state of 2a. The reactions were inferred by MO methods to be initiated by electrostatic interaction between the C6 position of 1a-d and the carbonyl oxygen of 2a at their ground states, and the solid-state interaction may be enhanced by electron density at carbonyl oxygen of the triplet 2a. The transition state (TS) analysis of the [2+2] cycloaddition reactions also suggested some triplet complex, and the high regioselectivity. The hydrogen-bonding interaction between 2a and 1a-d and the triplet reaction mechanism were also explained by the IR analyses and the quenching experiments, respectively.

Halogen bonding (XB) is often described as being driven predominantly by electrostatics, and thus adducts between <i>anionic</i> XB donors (halogen-based Lewis acids) and anions seem counter­intuitive. Such “anti-electrostatic” XBs have been predicted theoretically, but there are currently no experimental examples based on organic XB donors. Herein, we report the synthesis of two negatively charged organoiodine derivatives, which were subsequently investigated towards their ability to form “anti-electrostatic” XBs with anions. Even though the electrostatic potential is universally negative across the surface of both compounds, DFT calculations indicate kinetic stabilization of their halide complexes in the gas phase and particularly in solution. Experimentally, self-association of the anionic XB donors was observed in solid-state structures, resulting in dimers, trimers and infinite chains. In addition, co-crystals with halides were obtained which featured XB adducts between two or even three anions. The bond-lengths of all observed interactions are 14-21% shorter than sum of the van-der-Waals radii.
