The role of the arylbromine-halide ion (C−Br···X-) synthons in the development of the supramolecular frameworks is explored in a set of six bromopyridinium tetrahalocuprate(II) salts. The compounds belong to the series (nBP)2CuX4, where nBP+ denotes the n-bromopyridinium cation and n = 2, 3, or 4 and X = Cl- or Br- and include (2BP)2CuBr4, (3BP)2CuBr4, (4BP)2CuBr4, (2BP)2CuCl4, (3BP)2CuCl4, and (4BP)2CuCl4. The structures all consist of isolated pyridinium cations and flattened tetrahedral CuX42- anions. The supramolecular assembly of these ionic species is dominated by the novel C−Br···X- synthon and the more traditional N−H···X- synthon. The C−Br···X- synthon is invariably characterized by essentially linear C−Br···X- angles with Br···X- contacts 0.3−0.4 A less than the sum of the van der Waals radii. In contrast, the N−H···X- synthons show a variety of geometries: linear, symmetric bifurcated, and asymmetric bifurcated. In all cases, low dimensional supramolecular networks are developed based on combi...
