Halogen bonding (XB), an attractive and valuable noncovalent interaction, has recently
been exploited as an important tool in crystal engineering. The recent upsurge in crystal …

This critical review describes how halocarbons can function as effective binding sites of
anions via halogen bonding, the noncovalent interaction whereby halogen atoms accept …

Halogen bonding (XB) is commonly defined as a non-covalent bond where halogen atoms
(X= Cl, Br, I) function as electron acceptors. As an analogue of hydrogen bonding, halogen …
