This Review deals with the evolving field of polyhalogen chemistry, specifically polyhalogen
anions (polyhalides). In addition to a historical outline, current progress in synthetic …

This review is focused on a special class of metal complexes where polyhalide units are
either coordinated to metal (“true polyhalide complexes”) or form specific associates with …

For decades the chemistry of polyhalides was dominated by polyiodides and more recently
also by an increasing number of polybromides. However, apart from a few structures …

Supramolecular derivatives of chlorostannate (IV) and-plumbate (IV) with {Cl2} units, Cat2
{[MCl6](Cl2) x}(1–5; M= Sn, Pb, cat= 1-methylpyridinium (1-MePy), tetramethylammonium …

So far, several publications have discussed the bonding concepts in polyhalides on a
theoretical basis. In particular, the trichlorine monoanion is of great interest because its …

Chemical stability of the alkali halides NaCl and KCl has allowed for their use as inert media
in high-pressure high-temperature experiments. Here we demonstrate the unexpected …

Unlike polyhalides of heavier halogens, polychlorides still remain exotic curiosities. Herein,
we report preparation and investigation of complexes Cat2 {[TeCl6](Cl2)}(cat= 1 …

Aluminum monochloride (AlCl) has been proposed as a promising candidate for laser
cooling to ultracold temperatures, and recent spectroscopy results support this prediction. It …

A unique prospect of using halides as charge carriers is the possibility of the halides
undergoing anodic redox behaviors when serving as charge carriers for the charge …

Dieser Aufsatz widmet sich dem wachsenden Gebiet der Polyhalogen‐Chemie und
insbesondere den Polyhalogen‐Anionen (Polyhalogenide). Neben einem historischen …
