Conspectus Among the noncovalent interactions available in the toolbox of crystal
engineering, chalcogen bonding (ChB) has recently entered the growing family of σ-hole …

Halogen bonding (XB), as a directional interaction between covalently bound halogen
atoms (XB donor) and Lewis bases (A, XB acceptor), has been recently intensively …

The article presents a study on organocatalysis through halogen-bond donors. It states that
2, 6-diiodo-3, 4, 5-trifluoropheny group was usually selected as building block due to …

I⋅⋅⋅ Br‐idging: Benzhydryl bromide can be activated by novel halogen‐bond donors and
subsequently undergoes a Ritter‐like reaction with acetonitrile (see scheme). Comparative …

The selective recognition of anions by synthetic receptors is a problem that continues to
fascinate chemists.[1] Hydrogen bonding has been the most frequently employed …

The formation of non-covalent directional interactions, such as hydrogen or halogen bonds,
is a central concept of materials design, which hinges on using small compact atoms of the …

A family of supramolecular reagents containing two different binding sites, pyridine and
amino-pyrimidine, were allowed to react with iodo-or bromo-substituted benzoic acids in …

Fluorinated iodoarenes such as 1, 4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1, 4-FIB) and 1, 3, 5-
triiodotrifluorobenzene (1, 3, 5-FIB) were cocrystallized with the nitrosoguanidinate-nickel (II) …

A combination of halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds has been used for effective assembly
of three co-crystals containing desired one-dimensional architectures where the interactions …

Iodine (I2) acts as a bifunctional halogen‐bond donor connecting two macrocyclic molecules
