Extended Assemblies of Ru(bpy)(CO)<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub> (X = Cl, Br, I) Molecules Linked by 1,4-Diiodotetrafluoro-Benzene (DITFB) Halogen Bond Donors
The ruthenium carbonyl compounds, Ru(bpy)(CO)<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub> (X = Cl, Br or I) act as neutral halogen bond (XB) acceptors when co-crystallized with 1,4-diiodotetrafluoro-benzene (DITFB). The halogen bonding strength of the Ru-X⋅⋅⋅I halo...
