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 ...

Until now, observing subatomic structures was beyond the resolution capabilities of direct imaging methods, and this seemed unlikely to change. Czech scientists, however, have presented a method with ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Researchers uncover how the halogen bond can be exploited to direct sequential dynamics in the multi-functional crystals, offering crucial insights for developing ultrafast-response times for ...

A stable cluster of aluminum atoms, Al13, acts as a single entity in chemical reactions, demonstrating properties similar to those of a halogen, reports a research team led by A Welford Castleman Jr., ...

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 ...
