Anomalous halogen bonds in the crystal structures of 1,2,3-tribromo-5-nitrobenzene and 1,3-dibromo-2-iodo-5-nitrobenzene

The title trihalogenated nitrobenzene derivatives, C6H2Br3NO2 and C6H2Br2INO2, crystallize in triclinic and monoclinic cells, respectively, with two molecules per asymmetric unit in each case. The asymmetric unit of the tribromo compound features a polarized Brδ+...Brδ- intermolecular halogen bond....
