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.

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.

The common electrostatic features of ethynyl and iodoethynyl hydrogen- and halogen-bond donors, respectively, lead to synthon mimicry which can be employed in synthetic crystal engineering for the construction of identical supramolecular assemblies in the solid-state.

The DFT calculations have been performed on a series of two-element complexes formed by substituted 2,6-diaminopyridine (R−PDA) and pyridine (R−Pyr) with X−CY3 molecules (where X = Cl, Br and Y = H, F). The primary aim of this study was to examine the intermolecular hydrogen and halogen bonds in the condition of their mutual coexistence. Symmetry/antisymmetry of the interrelation between three individual interactions is addressed. It appears that halogen bonds play the main role in the stabilization of the structures of the selected systems. However, the occurrence of one or two hydrogen bonds was associated with the favourable geometry of the complexes. Moreover, the impact of different substituent groups attached in the para position to the aromatic ring of the 2,6-diaminopyridine and pyridine on the character of the intermolecular hydrogen and halogen bonds was examined. The results indicate that the presence of electron-donating substituents strengthens the bonds. In turn, the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents reduces the strength of halogen bonds. Additionally, when hydrogen and halogen bonds lose their leading role in the complex formation, the nonspecific electrostatic interactions between dipole moments take their place. Analysis was based on geometric, energetic, and topological parameters of the studied systems.

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.
