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 ...

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 ...

More efficient and sustainable energy conversion technologies, among other applications, hinge on lowering the amount of ...

Researchers uncover how the halogen bond can be exploited to direct sequential dynamics in the multi-functional crystals, offering crucial insights for developing ultrafast-response times for ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

(Nanowerk News) An international research team from Iran, Japan, and Switzerland studied the nature of halogen bond between fluorine atoms. Results of the research (ACS Nano, "Extended Halogen Bonding ...

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 ...

In the realms of supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering, and biology, noncovalent interactions play a critical role in shaping three-dimensional structures. Hydrogen bonds are the most well ...
