The study examines a 1:1 cocrystal of a specific aromatic compound and acetic acid to explore how fluorine (F) atoms enhance π-π interactions in the molecular structure.
The cocrystal's structure is analyzed using crystallographic techniques, revealing hydrogen bonding and significant π-π interactions between the molecules.
Results indicate that the presence of fluorine atoms plays a crucial role in facilitating these interactions without the need for complete halogenation of the aromatic ring.
