It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

The use of noncovalent interactions based on electrophilic halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen,
or tetrel centers in organocatalysis has gained noticeable attention. Herein, we provide an …

Halogen bonding, the non‐covalent interaction of Lewis bases with an electron‐deficient
region of halogen substituents, received increased attention recently. Consequently, the …

Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization of heteroaromatic compounds has received
considerable attention in the last few years, since it allows for a fast expansion of the …

The ubiquity of charged species in biological and industrial processes has resulted in ever‐
increasing interest in their selective recognition, detection, and environmental remediation …

A new approach towards highly enantioselective halogen‐bonding catalysis has been
developed. To circumvent the intrinsic issues of the nature of the halogen‐bond (XB) and the …

Accompanying the rapidly growing list of σ-hole bonds has come the acknowledgment of
parallel sorts of noncovalent bonds which owe their stability in large part to a deficiency of …

This article describes the application of N‐heterocyclic iod (az) olium salts (NHISs) as highly
reactive organocatalysts. A variety of mono‐and dicationic NHISs are described and utilized …

Neutral halogen bonding donors (XBDs) containing sp3-hybridized carbon–bromine and
sulfoxide moieties were designed and synthesized. They promoted quinolines and imines …

Photo-switchable receptors allow for photo-control over guest binding and release with
spatial and temporal precision. Here we report the first halogen bonding photo-switchable …
