Competition between hydrogen and halogen bonding in halogenated 1-methyluracil: water systems [PDF]
The competition between hydrogen- and halogen-bonding interactions in complexes of 5-halogenated 1-methyluracil (XmU; X = F, Cl, Br, I or At) with one or two water molecules in the binding region between C5-X and C4=O4 is investigated with M06-2X/6-31+G ...

Astatine Facing Janus: Halogen Bonding vs. Charge-Shift Bonding
The nature of halogen-bond interactions was scrutinized from the perspective of astatine, potentially the strongest halogen-bond donor atom. In addition to its remarkable electronic properties (e.g., its higher aromaticity compared to benzene), C6At6 can

Halogen bonds involved in binding of halogenated ligands by protein kinases. [PDF]
Analysis of 664 known structures of protein kinase complexes with halogenated ligands revealed 424 short contacts between a halogen atom and a potential protein X-bond acceptor, the topology and geometry of which were analyzed according to the type of a ...

The effects of halogen elements on the opening of an icosahedral B12 framework [PDF]
The fully halogenated or hydrogenated B12X12 (X = H, F, Cl, Br and I) clusters are confirmed to be icosahedral. On the other hand, the bare B12 cluster is shown to have a planar structure. A previous study showed that a transformation from an icosahedron

Halogen Bonding in Nucleic Acid Complexes
Halogen bonding (X-bonding) has attracted notable attention among noncovalent interactions. This highly directional attraction between a halogen atom and an electron donor has been exploited in knowledge-based drug design. A great deal of information has

Radical Fluoroalkylation Reactions [PDF]
Recent protocols and reactions for catalytic radical perfluoroalkylations will be described. The production of perfluoroalkyl radicals (RF = CnF2n+1, n ≥ 2), which effect both addition and substitution reactions on organic substrates, can be realized ...

The mutual influence of Y⋯N and H⋯H interactions in XHY⋯NCH⋯HM complexes (X = F, Cl, Br; Y = S, Se; M = Li, Na, BeH, MgH): Tuning of the chalcogen bond by dihydrogen bond interaction [PDF]
The equilibrium structures, interaction energies, and bonding properties of ternary XHY⋯NCH⋯HM complexes are studied by ab initio calculations, where X = F, Cl, Br, Y = S, Se, and M = Li, Na, BeH, MgH.

Halogen-Bonded Photoresponsive Materials
The aim of the present review is to illustrate to the reader the state of the art on the construction of supramolecular azobenzene-containing materials formed by halogen bonding. These materials include several examples of polymeric, liquid crystalline or crystalline species whose performances are either superior to the corresponding performances of ...
