The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

Halenium ions, X+, are particularly strong halogen-bond donors that interact with two Lewis
bases simultaneously to form linear [D··· X··· D]+-type halonium complexes. Their three …

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 …

Due to their electron deficiency, halonium ions act as particularly strong halogen bond
donors. By accepting electrons in both lobes of their empty p-orbital, they are capable of …

Neutral halogen‐bonded O− I− N complexes were prepared from in situ formed carbonyl
hypoiodites and aromatic organic bases. The carbonyl hypoiodites have a strongly polarized …

Self-assembly of pre-organized subunits with a concave overall shape is an effective
strategy for the synthesis of supramolecular capsules. We report the synthesis of a cavitand …

We have investigated the influence of electron density on the three-center [N–I–N]+ halogen
bond. A series of [bis (pyridine) iodine]+ and [1, 2-bis ((pyridine-2-ylethynyl) benzene) …

A halogen bond is a non-covalent interaction between an electron deficient halogen atom
and a nucleophilic region of a molecule [1]. The halogen bearing molecule is referred to as …

A detailed investigation of the influence of counterions on the [N–I–N]+ halogen bond in
solution, in the solid state and in silico is presented. Translational diffusion coefficients …

Tripodal N‐donor ligands are used to form halogen‐bonded assemblies via structurally
analogous Ag+‐complexes. Selective formation of discrete tetrameric I6L4 and dimeric I3L2 …
