Crystals of both complexes were obtained by dissolving equimolar quantities of the two components in acetone and allowing the solutions to evaporate.
For (II), when the disorder of the phenanthrene molecule around the centre of symmetry at (1/2, 1/2, 1) was found, the molecule was restrained using DFIX (Sheldrick, 1997) to have the average bond lengths and angles found by Petříček et al. (1990). When the disordered orientations are superimposed, some of the atoms of the symmetry-related orientation are close to overlapping with those of the first orientation. Atoms that resulted in such overlap were constrained to have identical ADP's. Under these conditions, the refinement proceeded satisfactorily.
For both compounds, data collection: SMART (Bruker, 2002); cell refinement: SAINT (Bruker, 2002); data reduction: SAINT; program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXTL (Sheldrick, 1997); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXTL; molecular graphics: SHELXTL; software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXTL.

In an earlier paper (Britton, 2002), the formation of two-dimensional arrays of the isomers of tetrachlorodicyanobenzene, TCDB, by formation of complexes with hexamethylbenzene was described. At the same time, the possibility of forming similar arrangements, with other π bases replacing the hexamethylbenzene, was explored. While a number of complexes were formed, none of them had the desired layers of TCDB. The structures of two of these complexes, p-TCDB–pyrene (1/1), (I), and p-TCDB–phenanthrene (1/1), (II), are described here.
Fig. 1 shows the labelling and anisotropic displacement ellipsoids for the molecules in (I). Both molecules lie on centres of symmetry. Fig. 2 shows the labelling and anisotropic displacement ellipsoids for the molecules in (II). The TCDB molecules lie on one centre of symmetry and the phenanthrene molecules are disordered about another. Fig. 2 shows the relative positions of the disordered phenanthrene molecules with respect to each other. In both Figs. 1 and 2, the view is along a with b vertical. Although the structures are otherwise similar, the orientation of the nitrile groups is different in the two structures; the molecules are rotated approximately 60° in the plane of the molecule with respect to each other. To the extent that bond lengths and angles were measured, they are normal in both structures.
The primary intermolecular interactions in both of these complexes are π stacks of alternating molecules parallel to the a axis. The molecules are tilted 3.2° away from parallel with each other in (I), and 2.8° in (II). The molecules are 3.43 (12) Å apart in (I) and 3.44 (10) Å apart in (II); the large uncertainties are a consequence of the deviations from parallel.
In both structures, the molecules also lie in puckered layers parallel to (100). In Fig. 3, one such layer is shown for (I). The TCDB molecules are tilted by 18.3 (1)° and the pyrene molecules by 19.0 (1)° with respect to (100); the two molecules are tilted by 24.6 (1)° with respect to each other. The corresponding tilts in (II) are 26.8 (1), 25.3 (1) and 35.3 (1)°, respectively. The layers appear to be held together by weak C—H hydrogen bonds; these are shown in Fig. 3. The geometric data are given in Table 1. There are similar interactions in (II) but, in view of the disorder shown in Fig. 2 and the additional untreated disorder that must be present in the TCDB atomic positions, the geometric data for these interactions have not been included. The disorder of the TCDB molecules in (II) can be seen from the larger atomic displacement parameters for this moiety in Fig. 2, compared with those in Fig. 1. This disorder arises from the disorder in the adjacent phenanthrene molecules and must consist of small displacements in various directions that depend on the particular orientations of all the surrounding phenanthrene molecules; it does not seem worthwhile to attempt to model this disorder.
In the two structures, the unit cells are similar and the packings are similar, but, as mentioned above, the orientations of the TCDB molecules are different. They are probably best described as pseudo-isomorphs.
