Halogen bonding is a highly directional noncovalent interaction in which an electrophilic region on a halogen atom engages with a nucleophilic site in a partner molecule. This interaction arises from ...

Halogen bonding is a class of highly directional non-covalent interactions in which a halogen atom serves as an electron-accepting site and interacts with an electron-rich partner. The hallmark 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 ...

Since Lehn's famous definition of supramolecular chemistry, supramolecular synthesis as a rapidly growing field is still in its formative stage, which is an important method to construct new ...

A team has reported the first demonstration of selective electrochemical separation driven by halogen bonding. This was achieved by engineering a polymer that modulates the charge density on a halogen ...

Perovskite-based solar cells would be easier to make given their chemical components, but issues around efficiency remain. Image: Oxford PV The chemical process of halogen bonding has “considerable ...

With a new polymer that only attracts certain substances from solutions when electrically activated, researchers have taken a major step towards sustainable chemical separation. A team based at the ...
