Abstract:
We report a solution NMR and X-ray crystallographic study on the anion affinity of all-cis 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexafluorocyclohexane, which has only recently become synthetically accessible. Our results suggest that the interaction exhibits preferential 1 : 1 stoichiometry, while its strength is only moderate (e.g. Ka = 400 M-1 in acetone for Cl-) and depends mainly on the size of the anion and the dielectric constant of the solvent.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
