In the structures of decafluorodiphenylamine, C12HF10N, and its 1:1 cocrystal with diphenylamine, C12HF10N·C12H11N, the molecules are located on special positions of C2 symmetry. The NH groups are not involved in hydrogen bonding and the usual face-to-face stacking interactions between phenyl and pentafluorophenyl rings are not observed in the cocrystal.

Compound (I) was prepared according to the literature procedure of Koppang (1971) [and was recrystallized from what solvent?]. Compound (II) was prepared from an equimolar mixture of (I) and diphenylamine, dissolved in ethanol, by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.
All H atoms of N—H groups were located in electron-density difference maps and refined as riding, with N—H = 0.82–0.91 Å [Please check added text] and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). In (II), the H atoms of the N—H groups were disordered over two symmetry-related positions [Site-occupancy factors?]. All H atoms bonded to C were placed in calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 Å, and were refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

2,2',3,3',4,4',5,5',6,6'-Decafluorodiphenylamine, (I), belongs to the family of strong N—H acids and its pKa has been determined to be very similar to those of trifluoroacetic acid and pentafluorobenzoic acid (Koppel et al., 1994). The highly electron-withdrawing properties of the (C6F5)2N ligand have recently been employed in organolanthanide (Click et al., 1999), transition metal (Giesbrecht et al., 2003) and lithium chemistry (Khvorost et al., 2004). The structural studies of (I) and its co-crystal with diphenylamine, (II), reported in this paper originate from our interest in organic fluorine as an acceptor in hydrogen bonding (Pham et al., 1998), as well as from our exploitation of phenyl–perfluorophenyl interactions for crystal engineering (Gdaniec et al., 2003).
The low propensity of organic fluorine to participate in hydrogen bonding has been the subject of several reports and is now well documented and recognized (Shimoni & Glusker, 1994; Howard et al., 1996; Dunitz & Taylor, 1997; Dunitz, 2004). In compound (I), there is only one strongly acidic hydrogen-bond donor and as many as ten weak F acceptors, with no other accepting groups to compete with F for hydrogen bonding. The crystal structure reveals that, as in previous cases, intermolecular N—H···F hydrogen bonds do not contribute to the stabilization energy of the crystal lattice because all intermolecular H···F contacts are longer than 2.9 Å.
A view of the molecular structure of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The molecule has crystallographic C2 symmetry, with the N—H group situated on the twofold axis. The pentafluorophenyl rings are twisted by 31.54 (8)° in opposite directions relative to the plane of the amino group defined by atoms C1, N1 and C1(−x, y, 1 − z). This twist brings two symmetry-related F6 atoms into close contact at 2.767 (3) Å, i.e. a distance slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of two F atoms (1.46 Å; Rowland & Taylor, 1996). This molecular conformation also orients the local Nδ−–Hδ+ dipole and two closely situated C2δ+–F2δ− dipoles nearly antiparallel (H1···F2 = 2.46 Å, N1—H1···F2 = 97°), thus providing some electrostatic stabilization to the conformation adopted by the molecule of (I). The F2 and F2(−x, y, 1 − z) atoms in the molecule hinder access to the N—H group by other potential acceptors and therefore no intermolecular N—H···F hydrogen bonds are formed.
The crystal packing of (I) is shown in Fig. 2. The pentafluorophenyl rings related by translation along [001] are arranged into stacks with a large offset (Fig. 2a), which brings atoms F3 and F6 from adjacent molecules along the stack directly above and below the centroid of an electron-deficient phenyl ring, with F···centroid distances of 3.26 and 3.22 Å, respectively. Additionally, the stacks of (I) along [001] assemble into (100) layers, where pentafluorophenyl rings related by unit translations along [011] or [011], and situated on one side of the layer, are nearly coplanar and contact via their edges with a shortest F···F distance of 2.826 (3) Å (Fig. 2b).
We expected that (I), with its two pentafluorophenyl rings, should be prone to form molecular complexes via phenyl–perfluorophenyl interactions, but our attempts to obtain its benzene solvate were unsuccessful. However, when an equimolar mixture of (I) and diphenylamine was disolved in ethanol, plate-like 1:1 co-crystals of (II) (m.p. 335 K) precipitated. These crystals have the same space group as (I) and very similar unit-cell parameters, with the exception that the parameter c was nearly twice as long as in (I).
A view of the molecular structure of (II) is shown in Fig. 3 and a view of the crystal packing along [001] is presented in Fig. 4. The crystal structure is very similar to that of (I), with the exception that the homomolecular stacks in (I) are substituted in (II) by heteromolecular stacks, with fluorinated and non-fluorinated molecules alternating (Fig. 4a). Both molecules posses crystallographic C2 symmetry, with the N atom situated on the twofold axis. The amino group N atoms are slightly pyramidal because the H atoms of the N—H groups are not located on the twofold axis but are displaced from it and are, in effect, disordered over two positions. As in (I), the amino groups are not involved in hydrogen bonding because the closest (N)H···F distance is 2.75 Å.
Interestingly, in this co-crystal there are negligible face-to-face aromatic ring interactions, typical for this type of molecular complex (Collings et al., 2002, and references therein; Gdaniec et al., 2003). Here, a large slip angle of the phenyl–pentafluorophenyl stacks leaves the centroids of adjacent rings more than 4 Å apart, i.e. there is practically no overlap of the aromatic π-systems (Fig. 4b). Instead, lateral interactions between the fluorinated and non-fluorinated rings of neighbouring stacks seem to play a more important role in (II), because each phenyl-ring H atom makes a conact shorter than 3 Å with an F atom situated close to the plane of the phenyl ring.
