description

A solid-state structural study on anion–π interaction in various N-(pentafluorobenzyl)pyridinium salts accompanied by NMR spectroscopic investigations is presented. The crystal structures of 1a–1d reveal different kinds of contacts with anions, including anion–π interactions. In particular, the solid-state structure of 1b-I3 shows distinct evidence of anion–π interactions. Attempts to study anion–π interactions in solution were not successful, but their presence in solution could not be ruled out.
