Ionic cocrystals of dithiobispyridines: the role of II halogen bonds in the building of iodine frameworks and the stabilization of crystal structures

K. Wzgarda-Raj, M. Nawrot, A. J. Rybarczyk-Pirek and M. Palusiak

It has been confirmed that mercaptopyridines undergo spontaneous condensation in redox reaction with iodine-forming dithiopyridines. In the solid state, these compounds are protonated at the N atoms and cocrystallize with iodine forming salt structures, namely, 2-[(pyridin-2-yl)disulfanyl]pyridinium triiodide sesquiiodine, C₁₀H₉N₂S₂⁺·I₃⁻·1.5I₂, and 4,4′-(disulfanediyl)dipyridinium pentaiodide triiodide, C₁₀H₁₀N₂S₂²⁺·I₅⁻·I₃⁻. Dithiopyridine cations are packed among three-dimensional frameworks built from iodide anions and neutral iodine molecules, and are linked by hydrogen, halogen and chalcogen interactions. Quantum chemical computations indicated that dithiopyridines exhibit anomalously high nitrogen basicity which qualify them as potential proton sponges.

Keywords: pyridine; cocrystal; salt; hydrogen bonding; halogen bonding; supramolecular chemistry; quantum chemistry; proton transfer; crystal structure; proton sponge.

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
