Cocrystal of 4-Nitrophenol and 2,1,3-Benzoselenadizole

Abstract

The 1:1 cocrystal of 4-nitrophenol (NP) and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole (BSA) was successfully synthesized. The X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis revealed that the structure contained a [Se–N]2 cyclic supramolecular synthon. The synthons were connected into a one-dimensional ribbon by O–H···N hydrogen bonds and N–Se···O chalcogen bonds. Furthermore, adjacent ribbons were stabilized by the π···π stacking interactions between two 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole molecules, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional network.
