Through a combination of structural chemistry, vibrational spectroscopy, and theory, we have systematically examined the relative structure-directing importance of a series of ditopic halogen-bond (XB) donors. The molecular electrostatic potential surfaces of six XB donors were evaluated, which allowed for a charge-based ranking. Each molecule was then co-crystallized with 21 XB acceptors and the results have made it possible to map out the supramolecular landscape describing the competition between I/Br-ethynyl donors, perfluorinated I/Br donors, and I/Br-phenyl based donors. The results offer practical guidelines for synthetic crystal engineering driven by robust and directional halogen bonds. Copyright
Efficient synthesis of a complete donor/acceptor bis(aryl)diyne family

A facile route to a family of bis(aryl)diynes containing both an electron donating pyridine ring and an electron accepting iodobenzene has been developed. The convergent synthesis involves the coupling of 2-, 3-, or 4-bromopyridine with TMS-acetylene, followed by deprotection to form the first half of the molecule. Similarly, 2-, 3-, or 4-iodoaniline was coupled to TMS-acetylene after protection of the amine group as a diethyltriazine. After conversion of the triazine to an iodine, deprotection of the acetylene and formation of the corresponding bromophenyl-acetylene, the two halves of the molecule were coupled under Cadiot-Chodkiewicz conditions. Nine new compounds were prepared, each of which was found to thermally polymerize from the melt. None of the compounds underwent photochemical polymerization in the solid-state.
