Overlooked Solid State Structure of 1,3-I<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>4</sub>—The <i>Meta</i>-Member of an Iconic Halogen Bond Donors Trio

The solid-state structure of the <i>meta</i>-isomer of diiodotetrafluorobenzene (DITFB), the sole liquid DITFB at 25 °C, is reported. Computational and comparative analyses of its crystal packing have elucidated potential factors contributing to its lower melting point and reduced affini...
