Abstract:
The data in this article are related to the research article "Utilizing the Regioselectivity of Perfluoropyridine towards the Preparation of Phenyoxyacetylene Precursors for Partially Fluorinated Polymers of Diverse Architecture."1 The X-ray structure analysis of 3,5-difluoro-2,6-bis(4-iodophenoxy)-4-phenoxypyridine has revealed an asymmetric unit containing two molecules, linked via both Type I and Type II C-I∙∙∙I-C halogen bonding interactions. The packing is further consolidated via Ar-H∙∙∙π interactions. This compound has been utilized for the synthesis of monomers for linear and network polymers.

According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal...

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
