organic compounds
The crystal packing of the title compound, C24H18Br2N2S2, is rationalized using the PIXEL method, which allows a separation of the intermolecular interaction energy into Coulombic, polarization, dispersion and repulsion contributions. Infinite (01) molecular planes are formed through π–π stacking and other minor interactions, including a BrS contact, with the σ hole of the Br atom pointing towards the S-atom lone pair. The title compound has crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry, with the twofold axis at the mid-point of the central C—C bond.
metal-organic compounds
In the title organic–inorganic hybrid material, the tetrachloridozincate anions and 1-cyclohexylpiperazine-1,4-diium dications are interconnected via N—HCl and C—HCl hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to the (001) plane. The cyclohexyl groups are located between these layers to form an infinite three-dimensional network.
