Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...

Since Lehn's famous definition of supramolecular chemistry, supramolecular synthesis as a rapidly growing field is still in its formative stage, which is an important method to construct new ...

Halogen Bond (XB) are an important type of non-covalent interaction characterized by high directionality, designability, and strong binding capacity. They exhibit broad application potential in ...

Hydrogen bonding has evolved from being a curious intermolecular interaction between a hydrogen atom and an electron-rich partner to being a powerful tool for crystal engineering of solid-state ...

Halogen bonding (XB), the attractive interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom and a Lewis base, has undergone a dramatic development as an intermolecular force analogous to hydrogen ...

The behaviour of di-selenol enzyme mimics indicates that a halogen bond between selenium and iodine, and a chalcogen interaction between the two selenium atoms, play an important role in the ...
