As. Batsanov et al., Cocrystals of 2-(2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluoren-9-ylidene)propanedinitrile and 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluoren-9-one with chlorobenzene, ACT CRYST C, 57, 2001, pp. 1299-1302
Crystallization of 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-(dicyanomethylene)fluorene [DTeF; s
ystematic name: 2-(2,4,5,7-tetranitro-fluorene-9-ylidene)propanedinitrile]
and 2,4,5,7-tetranitrofluoren-9-one (TeNF) from chlorobenzene in the presen
ce of pi -donor compounds yielded the chlorobenzene solvate, C16H4N6O8.C6H5
Cl, and the bis(chlorobenzene) solvate, C13H4N4O9. 2C(6)H(5)Cl, respectivel
y. Both structures comprise mixed stacks of twisted fluorene moieties inter
spersed with nearly parallel chlorobenzene molecules. Solvent-free crystals
of DTeF and TeNF were obtained from pure chlorobenzene.
