Halogen bonding in anion recognition and sensing
Victoria Corless
As part of an ongoing research programme in host-guest supramolecular chemistry, Professor Paul Beer of Oxford University has been developing methods for the synthesis of interlocking molecular architectures based on halogen bond donor motifs. Halogen bonding interactions—the noncovalent, attractive interaction between an electron deficient halogen (X) and a Lewis base (B)—are slowly becoming more prevalent as […]
