Abstract:
The propensity of a range of different sulfoxides and sulfones to
cocrystallize with either 1,2- or 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, via I•••O=S
halogen bonding, was investigated. Cocrystallization occurred exclusively with
1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene in either a 1:1 or 1:2 stoichiometry of the
organohalide and the sulfoxide, respectively, depending on the sulfoxide used.
It was found that the stoichiometry observed was not necessarily related to
whether the oxygen acts as a single halogen bond acceptor or if it is bifurcated; with I•••π interactions observed in two of the
cocrystals synthesized. Only those cocrystals with a 1:2 stoichiometry exhibit C−H•••O hydrogen bonding in addition to I•••O=S
halogen bonding. Examination of the Cambridge Structural Database shows that (i) the I•••O=S interaction is similar to other
I•••O interactions, and (ii) the I•••π interaction is significant, with the distances in the two cocrystals among the shortest known.
