The stacking between aryl and perfluoroaryl units is an important class of the aromatic – aromatic interactions that has attracted rapidly growing interest in recent years. Continuing interest of our group in this subject it had been prepared three new complexes of pentafluorobenzoic acid with benzyl alcohol, 4-methylbenzyl alcohol and 4-tert-butylbenzyl alcohol and in the next step investigated their self-assembly modes by crystallographic analysis. The synthesis of the complexes required diffraction quality crystals which were obtained by a slow evaporation from suitable solvents. The results may allow to have a better understanding of molecular self-assembly mechanisms by cooperation of hydrogen bonding and aryl-perfluoroaryl interactions and facilitate a manipulation of the supramolecular architectures in the solid state.
