Partial representation (Mercury 3.8, ball and stick) of the infinite chains formed by halogen bonds in crystalline (a) cyanogen chloride, (b) 4-bromo- and (c) 4-iodobenzonitrile and formed by pnictogen bonds in (d) cyano-dimethylarsine. Hydrogen atoms have been omitted for simplicity; halogen and pnictogen bonds are black dotted lines. Color codes: grey, carbon; blue, nitrogen; violet, arsenic; brown, bromine; green, chlorine; purple, iodine. |
