Balancing framework densification with charged, halogen-bonded-pi-conjugated linkages: [PPh4]2{[E-TTF-I2][Re6Se8(CN)6]} versus [PPh4]2[EDT-TTF-I]2{[EDT-TTF-I][Re6Se8(CN)6]}

Abstract

The ionic character of a set of two redox linkages and strong, directional halogen bonding at the organic-inorganic interface compromise to produce two materials sharing a common two-dimensional net, eventually extended in a third dimension, although two of the six symmetrical halogen bond acceptors ultimately remain uninvolved as a result of charge densification.
