π covalency in the halogen bond [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
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 ...

The Halogen Bond [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Reviews, 2016
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 region in another, or the same, molecular entity. In this fairly extensive review, after a brief history of the interaction, we will provide the reader with a snapshot of ...

Activation of a Metal‐Halogen Bond by Halogen Bonding [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020
Abstract 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 bromine. Herein, we present the activation of metal‐halogen bonds by two

“Anti-Electrostatic” Halogen Bonding [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, 2020
Halogen bonding (XB) is often described as being driven predominantly by electrostatics, and thus adducts between anionic XB donors (halogen-based Lewis acids) and anions seem counter­intuitive.

Hybrid Molecular Dynamics for Elucidating Cooperativity Between Halogen Bond and Water Molecules During the Interaction of p53-Y220C and the PhiKan5196 Complex

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2020
The cooperativity between hydrogen and halogen bonds plays an important role in rational drug design. However, mimicking the dynamic cooperation between these bonds is a challenging issue, which has impeded the development of the halogen bond force field.

Controlling Topology within Halogen-Bonded Networks by Varying the Regiochemistry of the Cyclobutane-Based Nodes

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The formation of a pair of extended networks sustained by halogen bonds based upon two regioisomers of a photoproduct, namely rctt-1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-2,4-bis(phenyl)cyclobutane (ht-PP) and rctt-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-bis(phenyl)cyclobutane (hh-PP), that ...

Cooperativity of halogen bonds – enhancing halogen-bond donating ability of halogenated pyridines through halogen bonding with N-haloimides [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances, 2018
N-halogenated imides, common halogenating agents in organic synthesis, have recently been marked as extremely strong halogen donors. In previous studies we have demonstrated that N-halogenated succinimides form extremely short XBs with halogen bond energies between 20 and 60 kJ mol–1, depending on the pyridine basicity and the halogen atom. In light of

In Situ Assessment of Intrinsic Strength of X-I⋯OA-Type Halogen Bonds in Molecular Crystals with Periodic Local Vibrational Mode Theory

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Periodic local vibrational modes were calculated with the rev-vdW-DF2 density functional to quantify the intrinsic strength of the X-I⋯OA-type halogen bonding (X = I or Cl; OA: carbonyl, ether and N-oxide groups) in 32 model systems originating from 20 ...

The Tetrel Bonds of Hypervalent Halogen Compounds

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
The tetrel bond between PhXF2Y(TF3) (T = C and Si; X = Cl, Br, and I; Y = F and Cl) and the electron donor MCN (M = Li and Na) was investigated at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory.
