Abstract:Hydrohalides of Lewis bases may act as halogen bond (XB) acceptors and combine two directional interactions, namely, hydrogen bonds (HB) and XBs in the same solid. 3-(1,3,5-Trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)acetylacetone (C11H16N2O2, HacacMePz) was protonated with HX (X = Cl or Br) to afford the hydrohalides, C11H17N2O2

− (1, X = Cl; 2, X = Br). Hydrohalides 1 and 2 are isomorphous and adopt a classical dipole packing. Consistent with the obs… Show more
