Abstract

The 1:1 molecular complexes of octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) with fluorene (1) and with 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (2) were prepared by cocrystallization of the components and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of 1 can be described as a mixed-stack or a laminar checkerboard motif of alternating OFN and fluorene molecules, whilst slanted mixed-stack, herringbone, and face-to-face heteromolecular dimer motifs can all be recognised in 2.Key words: single crystal, X-ray structure, π stacking, fluoroarene.
