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 ...

New research shows that using halogens -- a class of elements that include fluoride, bromine, chlorine and iodine -- in a dye-sensitized solar cell can increase conversion efficiency by 25 per cent.

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 at Ritsumeikan University report a halogen-guided method for transforming accessible hydroxycoumarins into ...
