On the importance of π–π stacking and cation–anion interactions in the construction of non-centrosymmetric networks of bromide salts of imidazolium cations bearing arene and polyfluoroarene rings

Abstract

The salt 1-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridyl)-3-benzylimidazolium bromide crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21. The structure arises from π–π stacking between the benzyl and tetrafluoropyridyl groups of the cations and cation–bromide interactions. It is the latter that gives rise to the non-centrosymmetry.
