“…In these chains the molecules are held together by N9--H9...N3 hydrogen bonds between two N6,N6-dimethyladenine mol-ecules situated around a centre of symmetry, and by N...I interactions, where two I atoms of a tetraiodoethene molecule are bonded to the N7 atoms of two N6,N6-dime~yladenine molecules. The N...I distance is 3.173 (4)A, which is 0.194,~, longer than in a similar complex between pyrazine and tetraiodoethene (Dahl & Hassel, 1968), and the angle N...I---C is 172.6 (1) °. In the complex between 9-cyclohexyladenine and iodine there are monomeric units, and I is bonded to N 1 with a nearly linear N...I--I arrangement and an N...I distance of 2.520,4,.…”
