The packing of organic molecular crystals is often dominated by weak non-covalent interactions, making their rearrangement under external stimuli challenging to understand. We investigate a pressure-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation between two polymorphs of 2,4,5-triiodo-1-imidazole using machine learning potentials. This process involves the rearrangement of halogen and hydrogen bonds combined with proton transfer within a complex solid-state system.

This study introduces a novel approach for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment by developing BiSe-Polysorbate nanoparticles as a multifunctional platform for photothermal therapy and targeted drug delivery. The BiSe-Polysorbates nanoparticles are engineered as innovative photosensitive drug carriers, enhancing biocompatibility through the combination of BiSe and Polysorbates. Characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy confirm the successful synthesis of the nanoparticles.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, CHN·Br·CFI, contains one 2,2,6,6 tetra-methyl-piperidine-1-ium cation, one 1,2,3,4-tetra-fluoro-5,6-di-iodo-benzene mol-ecule, and one uncoordinated bromide anion. In the crystal, the bromide anions link the 2,2,6,6-tetra-methyl-piperidine mol-ecules by inter-molecular C-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, leading to dimers, with the coplanar 1,2,3,4-tetra-fluoro-5,6-di-iodo-benzene mol-ecules filling the space between them. There is a π-π interaction between the almost parallel benzene rings [dihedral angle = 10.

The viability of the P═Se bond to serve as a monitor of the strength of a noncovalent bond was tested in the context of the (CH)PSe molecule. Density functional theory (DFT) computations paired this base with a collection of Lewis acids that spanned hydrogen, halogen, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bonding interactions and covered a wide range of bond strengths. A very strong linear correlation was observed between the interaction energy and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) J(PSe) coupling constant, which could serve as an accurate indicator of bond strength.

The multielectron conversion electrochemistry of I/I/I enables high specific capacity and voltage in zinc-iodine batteries. Unfortunately, the I ions are thermodynamically unstable and are highly susceptible to hydrolysis. Current endeavors primarily focus on exploring interhalogen chemistry to activate the I/I couple.
