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

As an orthogonal principle to the established (hetero) aryl halides, we herein highlight the
usefulness of CF2X (X= Cl, Br, or I) moieties. Using tool compounds bearing CF2X moieties …

In contrast to hydrogen bonding, which is firmly established in organocatalysis, there are still
very few applications of halogen bonding in this field. Herein, we present the first catalytic …

A well-defined three-point interaction based solely on halogen bonding is presented. X-ray
structural analyses of tridentate halogen bond donors (halogen-based Lewis acids) with a …

In the presence of a halide ion, hypohalous acids can adopt two binding motifs upon
formation of the ion–molecule complexes [XHOY]−(X, Y= Cl, Br, I): a hydrogen (HB) bond to …

Superior perrhenate anion recognition in water by a halogen bonding acyclic receptor -
Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C4CC10130H Royal Society of …

A detailed study of unexpectedly strong iodonium–sulfur halogen bonds in [I (2-
imidazolidinethione) 2]+ is presented. The interactions are characterized by single-crystal X …

An extensive series of 128 halogen-bonded complexes formed by trimethylphosphine oxide
and various F-, Cl-, Br-, I-and At-containing molecules, ranging in energy from 0 to 124 …

The binding properties of neutral halogen‐bond donors (XB donors) bearing two
multidentate Lewis acidic motifs toward halides were investigated. Employing …

Halogen bonding (XB) has emerged as an important bonding motif in supramolecules and
biological systems. Although regarded as a strong noncovalent interaction, benchmark …
