We report herein the extention of the azide-alkyne ``click reaction'' to crystal engineering and synthesize a collection of isomeric compounds with modular positioning of Br and NO2 on a tricyclic template and crystal structural analyses of the derived isomers. It is quite remarkable to notice that none of the isomers displayed the bifurcated three-center NO2 center dot center dot center dot Br supramolecular synthon in their crystal structures
