Elucidating mechanochemical reactivity of a ternary halogen-bonded cocrystal system by computational and calorimetric studies

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2023 Nov 1;25(42):28576-28580. doi: 10.1039/d3cp04358d.

Abstract

Discovery of a halogen-bonded ternary cocrystal of 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene with pyrazine and triphenylphosphine sulfide has revealed a complex landscape of multicomponent phases, all achievable by mechanochemical interconversion. The observed solid-state reaction pathways were explained by periodic density-functional calculations and comprehensive intermolecular interaction analysis, supported by dissolution calorimetry measurements.
