Supramolecular chemistry is “the chemistry of the intermolecular bond, covering the
structures and functions of the entities formed by association of two or more chemical …

The σ-hole and π-hole are the regions with positive surface electrostatic potential on the
molecule entity; the former specifically refers to the positive region of a molecular entity …

Develo** efficient adsorbents to capture radioactive iodine produced from nuclear wastes
is highly desired. Here we report the facial synthesis of a hexacationic imidazolium organic …

Halogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction similar to hydrogen bonding, which is based
on electrophilic halogen substituents. Hydrogen‐bonding‐based organocatalysis is a well …

Compounds incorporating Group 14–17 elements as electron-deficient sites are capable of
attractive, directional interactions with Lewis bases. These noncovalent interactions are …

The halogen bond is a powerful non-covalent interaction between the electron deficient
sigma-hole region of a group 17 halogen element covalently bonded to electron …

Since the start of this millennium, remarkable progress in the binding and sensing of anions
has been taking place, driven in part by discoveries in the use of hydrogen bonding, as well …

1. INTRODUCTION Porphyrins (Ps) 1, 2 and their best known synthetic analogues, the
phthalocyanines (Pcs; 2− 10 Chart 1) represent one of the most widely studied macrocyclic …

This review covers advances in anion complexation in the years 2011 and 2012. The review
covers both organic and inorganic systems and also highlights the applications to which …

A halogen bond is an attractive non-covalent interaction between an electrophilic region in a
covalently bonded halogen atom and a Lewis base. While these interactions have long …
