Self-assembly of nitroxide radicals via halogen bonding—directional NO⋯I interactions

Novel supramolecular self-assemblies of nitroxide free radicals via noncovalent halogen bonding are synthesised. A directional NO⋯I interaction is observed in a one-dimensional coordination polymer consisting of alternating electron donor and acceptor molecules.

Novel supramolecular halogen bonded self-assemblies of nitroxide radicals and diiodo-tetrafluorobenzene via halogen bonding. A directional, noncovalent NO⋯I interaction is observed in a one-dimensional organic coordination polymer consisting of alternating electron donor and acceptor molecules.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
