Over the past several decades, halogen bonding has become a standard 'tool'in
supramolecular chemistry and particularly in crystal engineering. Traditionally, the study of …

To investigate influences on the topicity of perfluorinated halobenzenes as halogen bond
(XB) donors in the solid state, we have conducted a database survey and prepared 18 novel …

Cocrystallization of the palladium acetate cluster Pd3 (OAc) 6 (abbreviated as [Pd3]) with
electron-deficient iodine (I)-based perfluoroarenes (ArFI: iodopentafluorobenzene, 4 …

Asymmetric catalysis based on halogen and chalcogen bonds (XB and ChB) is in its infancy,
and the search for new chiral XB and ChB donors represents a crucial step toward its …

We explore the halogen bond acceptor potential of the isothiocyanate sulfur atom in the
synthesis of cocrystals involving metal–organic building blocks by using Werner Ni (II) …

A carboxylate⋯ iodine supramolecular heterosynthon can be reliably applied in cocrystal
engineering, using metal carboxylates as building blocks. Analysis of the energy framework …

Six novel halogen-bonded cocrystals of 1, 3, 5-triiodo-2, 4, 6-trifluorobenzene with three
structural isomers of benzoylpyridine have been synthesized mechanochemically and by …

Almost equal molecular sizes of diiodoacetylene (C 2 I 2) and the [Br 3]− anion result in
isomorphic neutral cocrystal (DMFc–C 2 I 2) and [DMFc]+ Br 3− salt. This isomorphic pair of …

trans-diiodo-ethene (C2H2I2)–is an overlooked halogen bond donor, which demonstrate the
distinct similarity of the geometry and directionality of I··· I halogen bonds around the iodine …

The relationship between solid-state supramolecular interactions and crystal habits is
highlighted based on experimental and computational analysis of the crystal structure of …
