1,3-Bis(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-iodophenoxy)-2,2-bis[(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-iodophenoxy)methyl]propane
Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C29H8F16I4O4, short I...I and I...F contacts, which can be understood as halogen bonds (XBs), represent the strongest intermolecular interactions, consistent with the presence of I and F atoms, and the absence of H atoms, at the periphery of the molecule. In addition, π–π stacking interactions between tetrafluoroiodophenyl (TFIP) groups and five short F...F interactions are present.
