2015 New Journal of Chemistry  
The crystal structures of 1,2-diiodoolefins are governed by extensive halogen bonding involving I⋯I, I⋯O and I⋯C interactions. These interactions are discussed considering nine new crystal structures determined in our laboratory and several additional crystal structures from the literature that complement our data.
