Abstract

First anion∙∙∙π contacts with quinoid rings have been described in novel co-crystals of tetrabromo- and tetrachloroquinone with iodide salts of substituted N-methylpyridinium cations. In seven crystal structures of these co-crystals a centrosymmetric unit I-∙∙∙quinone∙∙∙I- is observed involving close contacts between iodide anions and electron-depleted carbon skeletons of the quinoid rings. However, the salt with N-methyl-4-methylcarboxypyridinium base crystallizes in two polymorphs characterized by O=C∙∙∙quinone∙∙∙C=O interaction instead of I-∙∙∙quinone∙∙∙I- one. A possible charge transfer, suggested by black color of the crystals, is probed by solid-state NMR and IR spectroscopies and analyzed by DFT calculations.
