Polydentate Halogen Bonding Donors for the Self-Assembly of New Materials

摘要

This report results from a contract tasking Polytechnic of Milan as follows: When halogen bonding drives the self-assembly of new materials, the involved modules can be grouped into three main classes: XB donors, XB acceptors, XB self-complementary modules. The design of new XB donors was pursued in this project. Polydentate modules were pursued with the aim of having a better control on the self-assembled architectures they will form with XB acceptors. The high stereoselectivity of solid state reactions under the control of XB was further explored in other materials already prepared.
