Halogen bonding vs hydrogen bonding: CHF2INH3 vs CHF2IN(CH3)3 Chris Medcraft Dror Bittner, Nick Walker Yannick Geboes, Wouter Herrebout
Introduction CHF2I can form halogen or hydrogen bonds When is halogen bonding energetically favoured over hydrogen bonding?
Halogen bond Electrostatic potential of Br2 Halogen bond describes attractive interaction between electron donor (e.g. NH3) and a halogen atom. + A.C. Legon, PCCP, 2010, 12, 7736 S.L. Stephens et al., PCCP, 2011, 13, 20736
