A novel strategy for the recognition of anions in water using charge-neutral σ-hole halogen
and chalcogen bonding acyclic hosts is demonstrated for the first time. Exploiting the …

Halogen bonding has emerged as a reliable and intuitive handle in crystal engineering,
providing predictable, noncovalent interactions capable of directing supramolecular …

Conspectus The structures of molecules can be different in different phases. Intermolecular
forces, even those of weak noncovalent interactions (WNCIs), can lead to a preference for …

Halogen bonding is often described as being driven predominantly by electrostatics, and
thus adducts between anionic halogen bond (XB) donors (halogen‐based Lewis acids) and …

Abstract The dihalomethanes CH2X2 (X= Cl, Br, I) were co‐crystallized with the isocyanide
complexes trans‐[MXM2 (CNC6H4‐4‐XC) 2](M= Pd, Pt; XM= Br, I; XC= F, Cl, Br) to give an …

A series of cocrystals of halogen bond donors 1, 4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (p-F4DIB) and
tetraiodoethylene (TIE) with five aromatic heterocyclic diazine mono-N-oxides based on …

Halogen bonding is an increasingly important tool in crystal engineering, and measuring its
influence on the local chemical and electronic environment is necessary to fully understand …

A high-fidelity and self-complementary halogen bonding moiety, 2-iodooxazole, was
identified using density functional theory-based calculations. Installation of 2-iodooxazole on …

Supramolecular rectangles are built from the 2+ 2 chalcogen bonding-based (ChB)
association of 1, 8-bis (telluromethylethynyl)-anthracene (BTMEA) and ditopic Lewis bases …

Halogen bonding of neutral donors using imine groups of porous organic cage compounds
as acceptors leads to the formation of halogen-bonded frameworks. We report the use of two …
