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 topic which continues to gain increased international attention across the chemical, biochemical, and materials sciences - this non-covalent interaction receiving a formal IUPAC ...

Assessing hyperfine shifts in paramagnetic NMR spectra provides new details on the covalent character of halogen bonded cocrystals ...

Jim Roberts and colleagues inhaled petrochemical fumes and navigated between ships and oil platforms in order to understand halogen chemistry in the Houston area and along the Texas coast. We cruised ...

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 ...

Halogen atoms (Cl and Br) strongly influence the atmospheric chemical composition. Since 1970s, scientists discovered that these atoms were responsible for depletion of ozone in the stratosphere and ...
