We present the synthesis and characterization of (15‐crown‐5)BiI 3 ( 1 ) and (15‐crown‐5)BiI 3 ⋅ 0.5TIE ( 2 ), a halogen bonded adduct with tetraiodoethylene (TIE), a typical halogen bond donor. Single crystal structure analysis of 2 suggests a halogen bonding interaction between crown ether complex and TIE. The two compounds’ thermal, optical and vibrational properties are investigated in comparison, with differences pointing towards a notable interaction between the two building blocks in 2 . Our results show that crown ether complexes of main group metal halides can be employed as halogen bond acceptors for the synthesis of new supramolecular aggregates.
