9,9‐Diethylfluorenes bearing chloromethyl, bromomethyl, and iodomethyl groups in the 2, 4, and 7 positions of the aromatic skeleton were prepared and their solid‐state structures determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The prepared fluorenes represent not only valuable starting materials for a wide range of fluorene‐based compounds but are also interesting objects for the analysis of the supramolecular motifs in the crystalline state. The X‐ray diffraction experiments revealed that the asymmetric unit of each structure contains one molecule, featuring similar conformations, but differ in their modes of non‐covalent intermolecular bonding. The crystal structures of the chloromethyl and bromomethyl substituted compounds 1 and 2 are primarily stabilized by Hal···Hal and C–H···Hal contacts, whereas the packing of the iodine substituted analogous compound 3 is influenced by triangular I3 synthons, C–H···π interactions and to a less degree by C–H···I contacts. The manuscript provides information about new synthetic routes, new molecules as well as about halogen/hydrogen bonding patterns and other noncovalent interactions in the crystalline state. Concerning the syntheses, the efficient one‐step synthesis of 9,9‐diethylfluorene‐2,4,7‐tricarbaldehyde (8) is also worthy of particular mention.
