The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

Halogen bonding (XB), a non-covalent interaction between an electron-deficient halogen
atom and a Lewis base, is widely adopted in organic synthesis and supramolecular crystal …

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 …

Shape‐changing polymeric materials have gained significant attention in the field of
bioinspired soft robotics. However, challenges remain in versatilizing the shape‐morphing …

The halogen bond is a special non-covalent interaction, which can represent a powerful tool
in supramolecular chemistry. Although the halogen bond offers several advantages …

Interfaces play a crucial role in determining perovskite solar cells,(PSCs) performance and
stability. It is therefore of great importance to constantly work toward improving their design …

Halogen bonding has recently gained well deserved attention in present-day research for its
importance in many fields of supramolecular science and crystal engineering. Although …

Organic molecules with heavy main-group elements frequently form supramolecular links to
electron-rich centres. One particular case of such interactions is halogen bonding. Most …
