Potential of polyfluoroaromatic compounds containing OH, COOH, and mixed H-donor functions as co-formers in co-crystallization with 18-crown-6 ether was explored. Pentafluorophenol, 1,3- and 1,4-dihydroxytetrafluorobenzenes and pentafluorobenzoic acid form with 18-crown-6 hydrated co-crystals containing one water molecule per H-donor group upon contact of the solutions with atmospheric moisture; pentafluorophenol gives a co-crystal with double the amount of water in aqueous EtOH. Aminotetrafluorobenzyl alcohol and aminotetrafluorobenzoic acid are capable of forming anhydrous 1:1 and 2:1 co-crystals with 18-crown-6. In the crystalline hydrates, co-formers molecules are connected via water-mediated synthon [C(O)]O-H center dot center dot center dot O(H)-H center dot center dot center dot O-cr. According to quantum chemical calculations, the participation of each water linker molecule in H-bonding increases the stability of the supramolecular structure by about 100 kJ mol(-1). Associates of bifunctional arenes exhibit H-bonded 1D assembly as an only structure-determining motif; molecules of monofunctional arenes in the co-crystals are bound via pi(F)center dot center dot center dot pi(F) stacking to give the H-bonded/pi-stacked 1D assembly. The calculated pi-stacking energy depends on the nature of the H-donor function (NH2, OH, COOH), decreasing with a decrease in the molecule dipole moment.
