“Halogen(I) Ions’ Strong and Linear Halogen Bonding with Two Lewis Bases: Implications for Halogen Transfer Reactions and Functional Materials”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117016

Halogen(I) ions form strong, linear, three-center, four-electron halogen bonds with two Lewis bases simultaneously, which can be harnessed for improved halogen transfer reactions and advanced functional materials, as reviewed in this perspective article.
