(15‐crown‐5)BiI₃as a Building Block for Halogen Bonded Supramolecular Aggregates

Superfluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Supramolecular, Halogen‐Bonded Anions

Unconventional ionic liquid crystals in which the liquid crystallinity is enabled by halogen-bonded supramolecular anions [Cn F2 n+1 -I⋅⋅⋅I⋅⋅⋅I-Cn F2 n+1 ](-) are reported. The material system is unique in many ways, demonstrating for the first time 1) ionic, halogen-bonded liquid crystals, and 2) imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystals in which the occurrence of liquid crystallinity is not dri...

Halogen-bonded solvates of tetrahaloethynyl cavitands†

Halogen bonding (XB) has been receiving considerably increasing attention as it provides a complementary interaction to hydrogen bonding (HB). XB has been proven to play crucial roles in supramolecular chemistry, nanoscience, biosystems, and functional materials. Its directionality and tunability make XB an important noncovalent interaction, geometrically and thermodynamically, similar to HB; h...

Halogen bonded analogues of deep cavity cavitands.

The first examples of halogen bonded analogues of deep cavity cavitands with guest binding properties, formed between N-alkyl ammonium resorcinarene halides as acceptors and bromotrichloromethane as the donor, are reported in the solid state and in solution.

Multiple Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Polymers

Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Halogen-Bonded Block Copolymer Complexes into Upright Cylindrical Domains

Self-assembly of block copolymers into well-defined, ordered arrangements of chemically distinct domains is a reliable strategy for preparing tailored nanostructures. Microphase separation results from the system, minimizing repulsive interactions between dissimilar blocks and maximizing attractive interactions between similar blocks. Supramolecular methods have also achieved this separation by...
