Halogen bonds (X-bonds) are shown to be geometrically perpendicular to and energetically independent of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) that share a common carbonyl oxygen acceptor. This orthogonal ...

Nitrogen finally joins the elite tier of elements like carbon that can form neutral allotropes—different structural forms of a single chemical element. Researchers from Justus Liebig University, ...

The halogen bond in solution; This session will cover the properties and applications of halogen bonds and other sigma-hole interactions in solution. The scope includes e.g., thermodynamic and kinetic ...

New STM technique points way to new and purer pharmaceuticals Date: April 30, 2020 Source: University of Warwick Summary: Chemists have used ultrahigh resolution scanning tunneling microscopy to ...

New research provides the first real-time measurements of the time dependence of the individual steps of dissociation of a complex consisting of two rare gas atoms and a halogen molecule.

In terms of half-life, radiation, and chemistry, “astatine is the Goldilocks of α emitters,” Makvandi says. Early-stage clinical trials have shown some promise for astatine-based therapies.

But thanks to some meticulous chemistry, researchers at the University of Nantes have shown experimentally that astatine can form a special kind of attraction known as a halogen bond (Nature ...

Halogen-free compounds are based on a variety of resin systems that can be flammable and generate smoke. To suppress these characteristics, they must be highly filled with bulky flame retardants and ...
