Abstract
The crystal structures and packing of 2,4,6-tris(4-fluorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-dimethylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine are discussed. These structures have been determined as a continuation of a series of octupolar NLO materials we have been investigating. The crystal structures are characterized by C–H...F and C–H...π hydrogen bonds, respectively. A characteristic of these triazine structures is the presence of dimeric Piedfort Units (PU) that are extended into more elaborate two-dimensional (2-D) networks. The structure of the fluoro derivative is compared with that of the corresponding unsubstituted and chloro/bromo-substituted derivatives. The structure of the dimethyl triazine is compared with that of the corresponding 4-methyl derivative. The noncentrosymmetric nature of the dimethyl derivative was confirmed by a powder SHG signal at 1.064 μm of the order of ∼0.5 × KDP. Interestingly, the dimethyl derivative studied here is isostructural with the corresponding 4-methyl triazine. This H/Me isostructurality is shown to be an uncommon phenomenon by an analysis with the CSD.
