Over the past several decades, halogen bonding has become a standard 'tool'in
supramolecular chemistry and particularly in crystal engineering. Traditionally, the study of …

This review summarizes the recent advances in utilizing halogen bond-driven cocrystal
formation as a design element in the creation of optical or photoresponsive materials …

We report the molecular recognition of the Au (CN) 2–anion, a crucial intermediate in today's
gold mining industry, by α-cyclodextrin. Three X-ray single-crystal superstructures—KAu …

We demonstrate a design for halogen-bonded metal–organic cocrystals involving
coordinatively unsaturated square-planar Cu (II) and Ni (II) centers, by utilizing a Schiff base …

Luminescent cyclometalated complexes [M (C^ N^ N) CN](M= Pt, Pd; HC^ N^ N= pyridinyl‐
(M= Pt 1, Pd 5), benzyltriazolyl‐(M= Pt 2), indazolyl‐(M= Pt 3, Pd 6), pyrazolyl …

Three groups of luminescent platinum complexes [Pt (C^ N)(L)(Y)][C^ N= benzothienyl‐
pyridine (1), bezofuryl‐pyridine (2), phenyl‐pyridine (3); L/Y= DMSO/Cl (a), PPh3/Cl (b) …

Chalcogen⋯ chalcogen interactions were investigated within four types of like⋯ like and
unlike YCY⋯ YCY complexes (where Y= O, S, or Se). A plethora of quantum mechanical …

An isomorphous series of coordination polymers with the general formula M (H2O) 4 [Pd (iso-
maleonitriledithiolate) 2]· 2H2O (M= Mn, Co, Zn) was structurally characterized. They exhibit …

In N-salicylideneaniline derivatives, photochromism occurs by a two-step isomerization
mechanism. Photochromism has been reported to be closely related to the molecular …

Three NaBa12 (BO3) 7F4 crystals were grown in the BaO–BaF2–B2O3–Na2O system from
three different compositions of high-temperature solution. With the use of optical …
