ABSTRACT

A chiral bidentate inclusion complex has been formed by halogen-bond interaction between the pyridyl moieties of a pyridoallenoacetylenic host and octafluorodiiodobutane. X-ray crystallography showed that the guest adopts a chiral conformation inside the molecular channels formed by stacking of the host units. A 10 ppm shielding of the (15)N NMR resonance for the pyridil units provided evidence of the formation of the halogen-bond complex in solution.
