Halogen-Arene Interactions Assist in Self-Assembly of Dyes

摘要

Halogens are omnipresent in chemistry as they possess high reactivity as well as intriguing electronic properties reflected in their dual electron-withdrawing and electron-donating character. These specific properties also make halogens interesting binding sites in supramolecular chemistry.In recent years, interactions between halogen anions and electron-deficient aromatic Jt systems have been a topic of particular interest.
