Hydrogen bonds are considered a powerful organizing force in designing supramolecular architectures because they are directional, selective and reversible at room temperature.trans-Dithiocyanatotetrakis(4-vinylpyridine)nickel(II) is a popular host for the inclusion of small molecules and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-1,4-diiodobenzene (TFDIB) represents a strong halogen-bond donor. These constituents cocrystallize in a 1:1 stoichiometry, [Ni(NCS)2(C7H7N)4]·C6F4I2, in the tetragonal space groupI41/a. Both residues occupy special positions,i.e.the pseudo-octahedral NiIIcomplex is located on a twofold axis and the TFDIB molecule sits about a crystallographic centre of inversion. The components interactviaa short S...I contact of 3.2891 (12) Å between the thiocyanate S atom of the host and the iodine substituent at the perhalogenated aromatic ring of the smaller guest molecule. This interaction meets the commonly accepted criteria for a halogen bond. Such halogen bonds to sulfur are significantly less common than to smaller electronegative atoms.

Specific short contacts are important in crystal engineering. Hydrogen bonds have been particularly successful and together with halogen bonds can be useful for assembling small molecules or ions into crystals. The ionic constituents in the isomorphous 3,5-dichloropyridinium (3,5-diClPy) tetrahalometallates 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrachloridozincate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[ZnCl4] or (3,5-diClPy)2ZnCl4, 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrabromidozincate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[ZnBr4] or (3,5-diClPy)2ZnBr4, and 3,5-dichloropyridinium tetrabromidocobaltate(II), (C5H4Cl2N)2[CoBr4] or (3,5-diClPy)2CoBr4, arrange according to favourable electrostatic interactions. Cations are preferably surrounded by anions and vice versa; rare cation–cation contacts are associated with an antiparallel dipole orientation. N—H...X (X = Cl and Br) hydrogen bonds and X...X halogen bonds compete as closest contacts between neighbouring residues. The former dominate in the title compounds; the four symmetrically independent pyridinium N—H groups in each compound act as donors in charge-assisted hydrogen bonds, with halogen ligands and the tetrahedral metallate anions as acceptors. The M—X coordinative bonds in the latter are significantly longer if the halide ligand is engaged in a classical X...H—N hydrogen bond. In all three solids, triangular halogen-bond interactions are observed. They might contribute to the stabilization of the structures, but even the shortest interhalogen contacts are only slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii.

A series of 4,5-dibromo-2-(4-substituted phenyl)hexahydro-3a,6-epoxyisoindol-1(4H)-ones were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding 2-(4-substituted phenyl)-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-3a,6-epoxyisoindol-1(6H)-ones with [(Me2NCOMe)2H]Br3 in dry chloroform under reflux for 3−5 h. In contrast to the 4-F and 4-Cl substituents, one of the bromine atoms of the isoindole moiety behaves as a halogen bond donor in the formation of intermolecular halogen bonding in the 4-H, 4-Br and 4-I analogues. Not only intermolecular hydrogen bonds, but also Ha⋯Ha and Ha⋯π types of halogen bonds in the 4-H, 4-Br, and 4-I compounds, contribute to the formation of supramolecular architectures leading to 2D or 3D structures.

In an attempt to grow 8-hydroxyquinoline–acetaminophen co-crystals from equimolar amounts of conformers in a chloroform–ethanol solvent mixture at room temperature, the title compound, C9H7NO, was obtained. The molecule is planar, with the hydroxy H atom forming an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules form centrosymmetric dimersviatwo O—H...N hydrogen bonds. Thus, the hydroxy H atoms are involved in bifurcated O—H...N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of a central planar four-membered N2H2ring. The dimers are bound by intermolecular π–π stacking [the shortest C...C distance is 3.2997 (17) Å] and C—H...π interactions into a three-dimensional framework. The crystal grown represents a new monoclinic polymorph in the space groupP21/n. The molecular structure of the present monoclinic polymorph is very similar to that of the orthorhombic polymorph (space groupFdd2) studied previously [Roychowdhuryet al.(1978).Acta Cryst.B34, 1047–1048; Banerjee & Saha (1986).Acta Cryst.C42, 1408–1411]. The structures of the two polymorphs are distinguished by the different geometries of the hydrogen-bonded dimers, which in the crystal of the orthorhombic polymorph possess twofold axis symmetry, with the central N2H2ring adopting a butterfly conformation.

The four title compounds, Me2NH2+·(4-Cl/Br/I/Me-C6H4-SO2)2N-, were obtained by metathesis of dimethylammonium chloride with the corresponding silver di(arenesulfonyl)amides. The products crystallize isotypically in the monoclinic space group Cc (Z = 4, Z´ = 1). In each structure, the ionic entities associate into hydrogen-bonded chains, which propagate along the c axis of the crystals and consist of alternating cations and anions held together by charge-assisted N+-H· · ·N− and N+- H(· · ·O)2 hydrogen bonds. In the three structures containing 4-halobenzenesulfonyl groups, each hydrogen-bonded chain is linked to four neighboring chains by pairs of C-Cl/Br/I· · ·O halogen bonds, which at first sight seem to be the causative factor in the formation of catemeric head-to-tail arrays of anions propagating along the ab face diagonals. On suppressing these halogen bonds by means of halogen-methyl exchange, all essential features of the packing architecture, including the anion headto- tail arrays, are precisely maintained. It may be thus inferred that the halogen bonds occurring in the first three compounds are supportive incidentals, but do not play any structure-determining role.

(davaH2)[FeCl4]2 crystallizes at room temperature from aqueous solutions of 2,4-diaminovinamidinium hydrochloride, (davaH)Cl, and FeCl3 in 3M HCl in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 with a=14.108(3), b = 16.502(3), c = 18.919(4) Å, Z=8. The structure consists of diprotonated tricyclic (davaH2)2+ cations and slightly distorted tetrahedral [FeCl4]- anions. The cations are bent around the central heptacycle forming boat-like units. One of the two independent cations is disordered between two positions. Some interatomic distances N···Cl are interpreted in terms of N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds.

Dicationic N,N´,N´,N´´,N´´-pentasubstituted guanidinium dichlorides 4a, b are obtained from the chloroformamidinium salt 2 and diamines 3a, b. N-[2-(Dimethylammonio)ethyl]-N´,N´,N´´,N´´-tetramethylguanidinium chloride tetraphenylborate (5a) and N-[3-(dimethylammonio)propyl]-N´,N´,N´´,N´´-tetramethylguanidinium chloride tetraphenylborate (5b) were synthesized from 4a, b by anion metathesis with one equivalent of sodium tetraphenylborate. The thermal properties of the salts 5a, b were studied by means of DSC methods, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. For 5a a solid-solid phase transition is observed at −156 ◦C to a low-temperature structure. The room-temperature modification (α-5a) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pbca (a = 13.1844(4), b = 13.8007(4), c = 34.7537(11) A° ).The guanidinium ions are interconnected via chloride ions through bridging N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds, providing isolated units. The tetraphenylborate ions show some dynamic disordering in the crystal structure. The low-temperature modification (β -5a) also crystallizes orthorhombically, but in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21 (a = 13.1099(4), b = 69.1810(11), c = 13.5847(5) A° ) and consists of four crystallographically independent cations and anions in the unit cell. Compared with the room-temperature structure, a similar N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bond pattern is observed in the β -phase, but the tetraphenylborate ions are now completely ordered. 5b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (a = 10.8010(3), b = 14.1502(5), c = 20.9867(9) A° , β = 94.322(1)◦). In the crystal structure the guanidinium ions are linked via chloride ions through N-H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds, but in contrast to 5a two infinite strands are formed along the a axis with the tetraphenylborate ions interspersed between them for charge compensation.

Two series of a total of ten cocrystals involving 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine with various carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The pyrimidine unit used for the cocrystals offers two ring N atoms (positions N1 and N3) as proton-accepting sites. Depending upon the site of protonation, two types of cations are possible [Rajam et al. (2017). Acta Cryst. C73, 862–868]. In a parallel arrangement, two series of cocrystals are possible depending upon the hydrogen bonding of the carboxyl group with position N1 or N3. In one series of cocrystals, i.e. 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–3-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 1, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 2, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid (1/1), 3, and 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2-aminobenzoic acid (1/1), 4, the carboxyl hydroxy group (–OH) is hydrogen bonded to position N1 (O—H...N1) of the corresponding pyrimidine unit (single point supramolecular synthon). The inversion-related stacked pyrimidines are doubly bridged by the carboxyl groups via N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a large cage-like tetrameric unit with an R 4 2(20) graph-set ring motif. These tetrameric units are further connected via base pairing through a pair of N—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating R 2 2(8) motifs (supramolecular homosynthon). In the other series of cocrystals, i.e. 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), 5, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–benzoic acid (1/1), 6, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–2-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 7, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–3-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 8, 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–4-methylbenzoic acid (1/1), 9, and 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine–4-aminobenzoic acid (1/1), 10, the carboxyl group interacts with position N3 and the adjacent 4-amino group of the corresponding pyrimidine ring via O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate the robust R 2 2(8) supramolecular heterosynthon. These heterosynthons are further connected by N—H...N hydrogen-bond interactions in a linear fashion to form a chain-like arrangement. In cocrystal 1, a Br...Br halogen bond is present, in cocrystals 2 and 3, Cl...Cl halogen bonds are present, and in cocrystals 5, 6 and 7, Cl...O halogen bonds are present. In all of the ten cocrystals, π–π stacking interactions are observed.

The cooperativity between hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds in X–HCN–Y ( X: C2H2, H2O, NH3, HCI, HCN, HF; Y: HF, BrF, Br2 is analyzed with MP2/6-311++G(d, p) and DFT/6-311++G(d, p) calculations using the B3LYP and mPW1PW91 hybrid functionals. The results from the quantum chemical calculations are typically clustered in groups according to the Y-ligand. By choosing the X–HCN–HF group as reference it is possible to describe the interaction between the hydrogen and the halogen bond with a two-parameter model. The value of the first parameter of the model describes the contribution of the X -ligand to the interbond cooperativity in the reference cluster. The second parameter of our model quantifies the changes in interbond cooperativity upon varying the Y -ligand. This simple model can be used to predict the cooperativity in X–HCN–Y trimers with reasonable accuracy and thereby to organize the results systematically. It is further shown that the conclusions drawn from this ordering scheme are independent from the computational method and thereby generally applicable.

The recognition mechanism of the urea-based involving Br derivation receptor (A) for the halogen anions through hydrogen bond and halogen bond was discussed by the density function Becke, three-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) method. The results showed that the guest-host recognition was performed by using four coordination weak bonds, which include two N-H...X hydrogen bonds and two C-Br...X halogen bonds (X= F-,Cl-,Br- and I-). The calculated interaction energies (ΔECP) with basis set super-position error (BSSE) correction of the four systems are-3.95, -82.43, -70.86 and 992.63 kJmol-1, respectively. So, the urea-based derivation receptor (A) presents the best recognition capable for the Br- and Cl-, and it can not recognize the I- in the same condition. Natural bond orbital theory (NBO) analysis has been used to investigate the electronic behavior and property of the red-shift N-H...X hydrogen bonds and two blue-shift C-Br...X halogen bonds in the A...X- systems.
