Cocrystallization of the palladium acetate cluster Pd3(OAc)6 (abbreviated as [Pd3]) with electron-deficient iodine(I)-based perfluoroarenes (ArFI: iodopentafluorobenzene, 4-iodoheptafluorotoluene, 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, and octafluoro-4,4’-diiodo-1,1-biphenyl) and iodine-free octafluoronaphthalene gave a series of six cocrystals...

The halogen bonding (XB) in metal carbonyls blueshifts the νCO band and XB directionality is dictated by XB-accepting atom hybridization.

The supramolecular arrangement of 4-cyanopyridine (4CNpy) in its native crystal form and its co-crystals with halogen bond (XB) donors is discussed in terms of energy frameworks of long-range synthon aufbau modules (LSAMs) energy frameworks.

The relation between covalent and supramolecular bonding, and the criteria of the assignments of different interactions were explored via the review of Se-and Te-containing structures in the Cambridge Structural Database...
