Abstract
2-Mercapto-1-methylimidazole (mmim) forms complexes with organic iodides, 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (p-F4DIB), tetraiodoethylene (TIE), and 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (o-F4DIB), in which there are remarkably similar N?H-·-·-·S hydrogen bonding and S-·-·-·I halogen bonding patterns. Extended chains of alternating donor (mmim) and acceptor (p-F4DIB and TIE) molecules are formed through divalent I-·-·-·S-·-·-·I interactions. These chains are joined into double strands through N?H-·-·-·S interactions that link two mmim molecules into a dimer. In the third complex, N?H-·-·-·S bound dimers are linked into infinite chains through S-·-·-·I interactions involving a pair of o-F4DIB molecules. Thermal analysis indicates that decomposition in both of the F4DIB complexes proceeds through total loss of acceptor, while decomposition of the TIE complex involves a combination of acceptor loss and acceptor reaction. Melting in the o-F4DIB complexes appears to be preceded by a solid-state rearrangement or premelting phenomenon that is not observed in the other two complexes.
