Ability of polyfluoroarylenediamines to yield 2:1 co-crystals with 18-crown-6 was tested. CF3-Phenylenediamines form 2D assemblies connected via synthon Car–N–H … Ocr. π-Stacking (Naphth) and Car–N–H…N(Py) are the additional synthons in 1D assemblies. Less electron withdrawing polyfluoroarylenediamines yield only 1:1 co-crystals. Different co-crystallization behavior was rationalized using vdW-DFT calculations.
