X-ray analysis has revealed that 4,4'-bipyridine, 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, and hexamethylenetetramine form donor-acceptor complexes with 1,4-diiodobenzene, 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, and tetraiodoethylenein which the N···I distance is longer than that for the corresponding I2 complexes. As opposed to the correspondingI2 complexes that are molecular adducts, these complexes have extended structures and longer N···I distances. Stericand electronic effects influence the strength of the N···I interaction and the crystal packing. An additional complexof 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane and 1,4-dibromotetrafluorobenzene has also been investigated for comparison of N···Iand N···Br interactions.
