Self-assembly of nitroxide radicals via halogen bonding—directional NO⋯I interactions

Novel supramolecular self-assemblies of nitroxide free radicals via noncovalent halogen bonding are synthesised. A directional NO⋯I interaction is observed in a one-dimensional coordination polymer consisting of alternating electron donor and acceptor molecules.
