Boronic acids are an important class of molecules diversely used in organic synthesis, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, and for the design of functional materials. Particularly, aryl boronic acids in the solid state are known to exhibit pharmaceutical and photoluminescent properties for antimicrobial, sensing, and drug delivery applications. Furthermore, the phenazine molecule is known for its diverse pharmacological properties, including antibiotic activity. In the case of molecular crystalline solids, it is well established that understanding noncovalent interactions remains key to designing or engineering their functional properties. While both aryl boronic acids and phenazine molecules individually represent an important class of compounds, their co-assembly in the crystalline state is of interest within the context of supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering. Herein, we report the supramolecular features of two newly synthesized cocrystals, which are composed of para-F/CF3-substituted phenylboronic acids, respectively, and phenazine, as demonstrated by structure analysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
