In the crystals of the title N-halomethylated quaternary ammonium salts, there are short I⋯I− interactions of 3.564 (4), 3.506 (1) and 3.55781) Å for compounds (I), (II) and (III), respectively. In (I), molecules are linked by C—H⋯I− and C —H⋯π interactions, together with the I⋯I− short contacts, forming ribbons along [100]. In (II), there are only C—H⋯I− interactions, which together with the I⋯I− short contacts, lead to the formation of helices along [010]. In (III), apart from the I⋯I− short contacts, there are no other significant intermolecular interactions present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
