Halogen Bond (XB) are an important type of non-covalent interaction characterized by high directionality, designability, and strong binding capacity. They exhibit broad application potential in ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Chemists have spent decades developing and refining the tools for constructing bonds in complex organic molecules — especially carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds, which form the framework of such molecules.
