Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Halogen bonding has been applied in crystal engineering, materials research, and nanotechnology for some time. Scientists from the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) and the Czech ...

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 ...

Halogen Bond (XB) are an important type of non-covalent interaction characterized by high directionality, designability, and strong binding capacity. They exhibit broad application potential in ...

THE FIRST DIRECT atmospheric measurements of iodine oxide and bromine oxide above the Antarctic snowpack unexpectedly indicate that the chemicals participate in destroying ozone and change the ...

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 ...

Halogen bonding has been applied in crystal engineering, materials research, and nanotechnology for some time. Scientists have now developed a new tool to use halogen bonds for drug discovery ...
