Hydrogen bonding interactions are the strongest of the non-covalent interactions and are
highly directional (hence transportable and reproducible). With respect to hydrogen bonds …

Conspectus The halogen bond is an attractive interaction in which an electrophilic halogen
atom approaches a negatively polarized species. Short halogen atom contacts in crystals …

Crystalline solid solutions are long-known solid phases that enable the fine tuning of a
material's structure and properties. Some of them, like metal alloys, have been employed in …
