Abstract
Abstract 3,5-Dinitrobenzoic acid, 1 , forms a 2:1 molecular complex with 1,4-diiodobenzene, 2 , through the formation of iodo-nitro interactions utilising one of its nitro groups, rather than forming a 1:1 molecular complex using both the nitro groups. The result suggests the importance of the hydrogen bond interactions present in the crystal of the parent molecule ( 1 ) in directing the interaction with other donor molecules ( 2 ).
