Activation of a Metal-Halogen Bond by Halogen Bonding. [PDF]
In recent years, the non‐covalent interaction of halogen bonding (XB) has found increasing application in organocatalysis. However, reports of the activation of metal‐ligand bonds by XB have so far been limited to a few reactions with elemental iodine or

Metal Centers as Nucleophiles: Oxymoron of Halogen Bond-Involving Crystal Engineering. [PDF]
This review highlights recent studies discovering unconventional halogen bonding (HaB) that involves positively charged metal centers. These centers provide their filled d‐orbitals for HaB, and thus behave as nucleophilic components toward the ...

π covalency in the halogen bond [PDF]
Current models of halogen bonding describe the σ-symmetric component of this interaction but do not contemplate the possibility of π-covalency. Here the authors provide experimental and computational evidence of π-covalency in halogen bonds involving ...

Carbonyl Hypoiodites as Extremely Strong Halogen Bond Donors. [PDF]
Neutral halogen‐bonded O−I−N complexes were prepared from in situ formed carbonyl hypoiodites and aromatic organic bases. The carbonyl hypoiodites have a strongly polarized iodine atom with larger σ‐holes than any known uncharged halogen bond donor ...

Nature of the Hydrogen Bond Enhanced Halogen Bond [PDF]
The factors responsible for the enhancement of the halogen bond by an adjacent hydrogen bond have been quantitatively explored by means of state-of-the-art computational methods. It is found that the strength of a halogen bond is enhanced by ca.

The Distance between Minima of Electron Density and Electrostatic Potential as a Measure of Halogen Bond Strength [PDF]
In this study, we present results of a detailed topological analysis of electron density (ED) of 145 halogen-bonded complexes formed by various fluorine-, chlorine-, bromine-, and iodine-containing compounds with trimethylphosphine oxide, Me3PO.
