Bifurcated Halogen Bond-Driven Supramolecular Double Helices from 1,2-Dihalotetrafluorobenzene and 2,2′-Bi(1,8-naphthyridine)

The unique enantiomeric pairs of double helices have been found in the structure of the cocrystal between 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene and 2,2′-bi(1,8-naphthyridine). The formation of the supramolecular double helices is driven by the strong bifurcated iodine bonds which can force the herringbone pa...
