Ethynyl hydrogen bonds and iodoethynyl halogen bonds: a case of synthon mimicry

Abstract

The common electrostatic features of ethynyl and iodoethynyl hydrogen- and halogen-bond donors, respectively, lead to synthon mimicry which can be employed in synthetic crystal engineering for the construction of identical supramolecular assemblies in the solid-state.
