Halogen bonding has emerged as a reliable and intuitive handle in crystal engineering, providing predictable, noncovalent interactions capable of directing supramolecular assembly into networks with varying degrees dimensionality. Conceptually similar to hydrogen bonding, halogen represents virtually untapped space for realizing new low-density porous architectures large, highly crystalline domains. With the foundational understanding gained from almost two decades computational empirical...
The manner of bonding between constituent atoms or molecules invariably influences the properties materials. Perhaps no material family is more emblematic this than porous frameworks, wherein namesake modes connectivity give rise to discrete subclasses with unique collections properties. However, established framework classes often display offsetting advantages and disadvantages for a given application. Thus, there exists universally applicable material, discovery alternative highly...
A high-fidelity and self-complementary halogen bonding moiety, 2-iodooxazole, was identified using density functional theory-based calculations. Installation of 2-iodooxazole on two geometrically complementary cores a two-step synthetic approach gave the tectons 1,4-bis(2-iodooxazol-5-yl)benzene (BIOx) 1,4-bis(2-iodooxazol-5-yl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (FIOx). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies have shown that both BIOx FlOx possess requisite strength geometry to assemble into...
Systematic replacement of selenium for tellurium in a chalcogen-bonding tecton results divergent assembly behavior from competitive solvents.
