Solution and solid-phase halogen and C-H hydrogen bonding to perrhenate

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 28;51(8):1417-20. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09242b.

Abstract

(1)H NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic investigations of a 1,3-bis(4-ethynyl-3-iodopyridinium)benzene scaffold with perrhenate reveal strong halogen bonding in solution, and bidentate association in the solid state. A nearly isostructural host molecule demonstrates significant C-H hydrogen bonding to perrhenate in the same phases.
