Halogen⋯ halogen interaction is a highly debated and important topic in crystal engineering
and supramolecular chemistry. There are controversies about the nature and geometry of …

3D-aromatic molecules with (distorted) tetrahedral, octahedral, or spherical structures are
much less common than typical 2D-aromatic species or even 2D-aromatic-in-3D systems …

Herein, the potential of ZO3 and ZF2 aerogen-comprising molecules (where Z= Ar, Kr, and
Xe) to engage in σ-, lp-, and π-hole site-based interactions was comparatively studied using …

For the first time, sigma (σ)-and lone-pair (lp)-hole site-based interactions of SF4 and SeF4
molecules in seesaw geometry with NH3 and FH Lewis bases were herein comparatively …

Two 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2-thione-N-Mannich derivatives, specifically 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[(2-
trifluoromethylphenylamino) methyl]-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-2 (3H)-thione (1) and 5-(4 …

It is usually expected that formation of a halogen bond (XB) requires that a region of positive
electrostatic potential associated with a σ or π-hole on the Lewis acid will interact with the …

Unconventional noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in molecular crystals,
supramolecular systems, and biomolecules, but their significance has often been …

Radical (R•) and R•-hole site-based interactions are comparatively studied, for the first time,
using ab initio methods. In this regard, R•-bearing molecules• XO3 (where X= Cl, Br, and I) …

How halogenation affects protein or peptide folding and self‐assembly hierarchically? This
study tries to answer this question by using the halogen bonding mediated self‐assemblies …

The role of halogen bonding as a supramolecular directing interaction was investigated in a
series of ten 3-halogenocoumarin derivatives using X-ray diffraction analysis. Halogen …
