Metric engineering of perfluorocarbon-hydrocarbon layered solids driven by the halogen bonding.
The halogen bonding driven self-assembly of 1,4-dicyanobutane and 1,6-dicyanohexane with a range of perfluorinated telechelic diiodoalkanes yields layered 1D, infinite chain co-crystals. The structure and metrics of these co-crystals are remarkably predictable.
