Optically active ditopic halogen bond donors bearing two 4-iodotetrafluorophenyl groups were obtained by reaction of chiral diols with iodopentafluorobenzene. Co-crystallization of these donors with anti-4,4′-azopyridine afforded binary complexes containing infinite chains of the alternating component molecules connected by halogen bonds. The solid state CD measurements confirmed that complexation induces optical activity of the azo chromophore due to the twisting of the aryl-N=N system or external chiral perturbation exerted by host molecules.
