(S)-1,2-Dibromohexafluoropropane crystallizes in 100% enantiomeric excess from a solution of racemate with (-)-sparteine hydrobromide, according to single-crystal X-ray studies. The Milan workers suggest that the interaction between the compounds is through a "halogen bond," analogous to a hydrogen bond, in which the electron-rich bromide ion associated with the alkaloid donates electrons to the electron-poor bromine atoms covalently bound in a highly fluorinated environment. |
