The 1:1 co-crystal of triphen-yl(2,3,5,6-tetra-fluoro-benz-yl)phospho-nium bromide and 1,1,2,2-tetra-fluoro-1,2-di-iodo-ethane.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C25H18F4P(+)·Br(-)·C2F4I2, is a 1:1 co-crystal of triphen-yl(2,3,5,6-tetra-fluoro-benz-yl)phospho-nium (TTPB) bromide and 1,1,2,2-tetra-fluoro-1,2-di-iodo-ethane (TFDIE). The crystal structure consists of a framework of TTPB cations held together by C-H⋯Br inter-actions. In this framework, infinite channels along [100] are filled by TFDIE mol-ecules held together in infinite ribbons by short F⋯F [2.863 (2)-2.901 (2)Å] inter-actions. The structure contains halogen bonds (XB) and hydrogen bonds (HB) in the bromide coordination sphere. TFDIE functions as a monodentate XB donor as only one I atom is linked to the Br(-) anion and forms a short and directional inter-action [I⋯Br(-) 3.1798 (7) Å and C-I⋯Br(-) 177.76 (5)°]. The coordination sphere of the bromide anion is comple
