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 …

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 …

Over the past several decades, halogen bonding has become a standard 'tool'in
supramolecular chemistry and particularly in crystal engineering. Traditionally, the study of …

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

Halogen bonding, a noncovalent interaction possessing several unique features compared
to the more familiar hydrogen bonding, is emerging as a powerful tool in functional materials …

Oxadiazoles experienced an almost 80-year long period of scientific lethargy before they
tickled the curiosity of chemists. The study of chemical and photochemical reactivity of 1, 2, 4 …

A convenient, effective, and scalable protocol for stabilizing volatile liquid chemicals is
reported. Through the use of halogen-bond driven co-crystal synthesis, several examples of …

We provide a systematic investigation of the structures and composition of halogen-bonded
cocrystals involving the bent (meta) halogen bond donor 1, 3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1, 3 …

Materials with high adsorption properties and high selectivity are ideal adsorbents for the
application of adsorption. Herein, by using tetrabrombisphenol A (TBr-BPA) as the template …

We present the synthesis and oxoanion-assembling properties of a monomer with a
naphthalene ring as a central core decorated with two arms containing iodotriazolium rings …
