ABSTRACT
Cocrystallization of the dimeric [Cu2(µ-I)2(CNXyl)4] (Xyl = 2,6-Me2C6H3, 1) and polymeric catena-[Cu(µ-I)(CNC6H3-2-Cl-6-Me)2] (2) complexes with I2 at different molar ratios between the reactants resulted in a series of (RNC)2CuI-based crystal polyiodides formed along with gradual accumulation of iodine, namely the cocrystals [1·I2]·[Cu(µ1,1-I3)(CNXyl)2]2 followed by the generation of [Cu(µ1,3-I3)(CNXyl)2]2·2I2 (5·2I2) or [Cu(µ1,1-I3)(CNC6H3-2-Cl-6-Me)2]2 and then [Cu(µ1,3-I3)(CNC6H3-2-Cl-6-Me)2]n·n/2I2. The polyiodide 5·2I2 exhibits a novel supramolecular motifâa purely inorganic halogen-bonded Cu2(µ1,3-I3)2 core in the chair conformation. The X-ray structure of 5·2I2 featuring I···I contacts was analyzed by a set of theoretical methods and attributed to moderately strong halogen bonding (from -3.2 to -3.9 kcal/mol); these interactions determine the supramolecular architecture of 5·2I2.
