Halogen Bonds in Square Planar 2,5-Dihalopyridine-Copper(II) Bromide Complexes

2018

Halogen bonding in self-complementary 1:2 metal–ligand complexes obtained from copper(II) bromide (CuBr2) and seven 2,5-dihalopyridines were analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All presented discrete complexes form 1D polymeric chains connected with C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds (XB). In (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) only the C5-halogen and in (2-bromo-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) both C2- and C5-halogens form C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds with the X acting as the XB donor and copper-coordinated bromide as the XB acceptor. The electron-withdrawing C2-chloride in (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 complexes has only a minor effect on the C5–X5···Br–Cu XBs, a…
