Se路路路I Halogen bonding (XB) between triphenylphosphine selenide and organoiodides: 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,2-F4DIB), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,4-F4DIB), and tetraiodoethylene (TIE) has been used to assemble molecules into finite adducts, chains, and two-dimensional layers. Phenyl embraces involving the triphenylphosphine groups extend these moieties into additional dimensions, leading in two cases (1,4-F4DIB and TIE) to open structures, with filled or partially filled cavities. Comparison of structural parameters for 26 reported zigzag chains of embracing Ph3XY reveals that this synthon can adapt its registry to accommodate widely diverse structures. The strengths of the XB interactions were analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) theory, which provides an estimate of the energy of a donor鈥揳cceptor interaction (螖Ed鈫抋) through localization of the molecular orbitals. Structures of 1:1 and 1:2 XB complexes of Ph3P鈺怱e with 1,2-F4DIB and 1,4-F4DIB were optimized at the DFT(B97-1)/BSI level. The bond distance and angles obtained are in reasonably good agreement with the experimentally observed structures.
