Abstract
Robust and reliable synthons can facilitate the synthesis of predictable and complex supramolecular assemblies. In this study, we employ triply activated halogen-bond donors as a driver for cocrystal formation and examine the influence of the sigma-hole potential for controlling the stoichiometry of binary cocrystals of phenazine. Six new crystal structures are presented for ketone:phenazine binary cocrystals as well as six crystal structures for ester:phenazine cocrystals. The combination of structural chemistry and theory provides an increased understanding of how controlled variation of the molecular electrostatic potential on the halogen-bond atom can control the stoichiometry in the resulting binary cocrystals.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Crystal Growth & Design is to stimulate crossfertilization of knowledge among scientists and engineers working in the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, and the industrial application of crystalline materials.
Crystal Growth & Design publishes theoretical and experimental studies of the physical, chemical, and biological phenomena and processes related to the design, growth, and application of crystalline materials. Synergistic approaches originating from different disciplines and technologies and integrating the fields of crystal growth, crystal engineering, intermolecular interactions, and industrial application are encouraged.
