Dominant Role of C-Br⊙⊙⊙ N Halogen Bond in Molecular Self-Organization. Crystallographic and Quantum-Chemical Study of Schiff-Base-Containing Triazoles
Three Schiff-base-containing triazole derivatives have been synthesized and investigated by X-ray crystallography. Structural motifs (zigzag or linear chains) formed in the solid state are stabilized by C-Br⊙⊙⊙ N halogen bond interactions, while hydrogen bonds do not seem to play a significant role in the molecular self-organization of studied compounds. Quantum- chemical studies confirm that these interactions are sufficient to account for both the ...
