The title compound, [Na(C62H76N2O6)]I·1.5C6F4I2·2CH3OH, is composed of five components: a calix[4]arene derivative (hereinafter C4), a sodium cation, an iodide anion, a 1,2,4,5-tetra­fluoro-3,6-diiodo­benzene (tFdIB) mol­ecule and a methanol mol­ecule in a 1:1:1:1.5:2 ratio. The complex shows several inter­esting features: (i) the polyoxygenated loop of C4 effectively chelates a sodium cation in the form of a distorted octahedron and separates it from the iodide counter-ion, the shortest Na+...I distance being greater than 6.5 Å; (ii) the cavity of C4 is filled by a methanol mol­ecule; (iii) a second methanol mol­ecule is hydrogen-bonded to the N atom of a pyridinyl substituent pendant of C4 and halogen-bonded to the I atom of a tFdIB mol­ecule; (iv) the two I atoms of another tFdIB mol­ecule are halogen-bonded to two iodide anions, which act as monodentate halogen-bond acceptorss; (v) one of the two tFdIB molecules is located about a centre of inversion.

The title adduct, [K(C30H24F12I3NO6)]I, gives an extended tape of cations linked through I...I halogen bonds (XBs), two of them being quite short and one quite long. In the structure, the cation is hosted in a cavity formed by the arms of the podand which presents a closed conformation wherein two tetra­fluoro­iodo­benzene rings are near parallel [dihedral angle = 15.8 (4)°; centroid–centroid distance = 3.908 (5) Å] and the third ring is closer to orthogonal [dihedral angles = 66.28 (14) and 75.20 (19)°] to the other two rings. The coordination sphere of the K+ cation is composed of the six O atoms, the N atom and an F atom in the ortho position of one of the rings.

The title complex (CX1), [Na(C18H36N2O6)]I·1.5C2F4I2, is a three-component adduct containing a [2.2.2]-cryptand, sodium iodide and 1,1,2,2-tetra­fluoro-1,2-di­iodo­ethane. The di­iodo­ethane works as a bidentate halogen-bonding (XB) donor, the [2.2.2]-cryptand chelates the sodium cation, and the iodide counter-ion acts as a tridentate XB acceptor. A (6,3) network is formed in which iodide anions are the nodes and halocarbons the sides. The network symmetry is C3i and the I...I XB distance is 3.4492 (5) Å. This network is strongly deformed and wrinkled. It forms a layer 9.6686 (18) Å high and the inter-layer distance is 4.4889 (10) Å. The cations, inter­acting with each other via weak O...H hydrogen bonds, are confined between two anionic layers and also form a (6,3) net. The structure of CX1 is closely related to that of the KI homologue (CX2). The 1,1,2,2,-tetrafluoro-1,2-diiodoethane molecule is rotationally disordered around the I...I axis, resulting in an 1:1 disorder of the C2F4 moiety.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C29H8F16I4O4, short I...I and I...F contacts, which can be understood as halogen bonds (XBs), represent the strongest inter­molecular inter­actions, consistent with the presence of I and F atoms, and the absence of H atoms, at the periphery of the mol­ecule. In addition, π–π stacking inter­actions between tetra­fluoro­iodo­phenyl (TFIP) groups and five short F...F inter­actions are present.

The crystallization of a 1:1 molar solution of 1,3,5-tri­fluoro-2,4,6-di­iodo­benzene (TFTIB) and tetra­phenyl­phosponium iodide (TPPI) from methanol produced tetra­gonal needles of pure TPPI and tabular pseudo-hexa­gonal truncated bipyramids of the title compound, 3C24H20P+·3I·4C6F3I3·CH4O or (TPPI)3(TFTIB)4·MeOH. The asymmetric unit is composed of six TPPI mol­ecules, eight TFTIB mol­ecules and two methanol mol­ecules, overall 16 constituents. The formation of the architecture is essentially guided by a number of C—I...I halogen bonds (XB), whose lengths are in the range 3.276 (1)–3.625 (1) Å. Layers of supra­molecular polyanions are formed parallel to (10-1) wherein iodide anions function as penta-, tetra- or bidentate XB acceptors. The structure is not far from being P21/n, but the centrosymmetry is lost due to a different conformation of a single couple of cations and the small asymmetry in the formed supra­molecular anion. One methanol mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to an iodide anion, while the second is linked to the first one via an O—H...O contact. This second methanol mol­ecule is more loosely pinned in its position than the first and presents very high anisotropic displacement parameters and a seeming shortening of the C—O bond length. The crystal studied was refined as a perfect inversion twin.
