Intramolecular halogen bonds between aryl halide donors and suitable acceptors, such as carbonyl or quinolinyl groups, held in proximity by 1,2-aryldiyne linkers, provide triangular structures in the solid state. Aryldiyne linkers provide a nearly ideal template for intramolecular halogen bonding as minor deviations from alkyne linearity can accommodate a variety of halogen bonding interactions, including O···Cl, O···Br, O···I, N···Br, and N···I. Halogen bond lengths for these units, observed by single crystal X-ray crystallography, range from 2.75 to 2.97 Å. Internal bond angles of the semirigid bridge between halogen bond donor and acceptor are responsive to changes in the identity of the halogen, the identity of the acceptor, and the electronic environment around the halogen, with the triangles retaining almost perfect co-planarity in even the most strained systems. Consistency between experimental results and structures predicted by M06-2X/6-31G* calculations demonstrates the efficacy of this computational method for modeling halogen-bonded structures of this type.

Potassium-iodine batteries show great promise as alternatives for next-generation battery technology, owing to their high power density and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, they suffer from polyiodide dissolution and the multistep electrode fabrication process, which leads to severe performance degradation and limitations in mass-market adoption. Herein, we report a simple "solution-adsorption" strategy for scale-up production of TiC(OH)-wrapped carbon nanotube paper (CNP), as an economic host for strengthening the iodine encapsulation.

Organic photovoltaic materials that can be processed via non-halogenated solvents are crucial for the large-area manufacturing of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the limited available of electron acceptors with adequate solubility and favorable molecular packing presents a challenge in achieving efficient non-halogenated solvent-processed OSCs. Herein, inspired by the three-dimensional dimeric acceptor CH8-4, we employed a molecular isomerization strategy to synthesize its isomers, CH8-4A and CH8-4B, by tuning the position of fluorine (F) atom in the central unit.

In this study, several hydrogen-bonded arylamide foldamers (compounds 1-5) with the same degree of polymerization were designed and synthesized. The polyfluoroiodobenzene or iodoethynyl polyfluoroiodobenzene segment was modified as a halogen donor at the end of the monomer, and pyridine or pyridine oxynitride served as the corresponding halogen acceptor segment. The crystal structure of compound 1 indicates that the supramolecular double helices were constructed by stacking a P helix and an M helix in an antiparallel manner in the direction of intermolecular I⋅⋅⋅O-N halogen bonding.

1,2--Aryl furanosides are prevalent in nature and exhibit significant biological activities. The 1,2- configuration is less favorable in terms of stereoelectronic and steric effects, making the synthesis of this type of skeleton highly challenging. Traditional methods for the synthesis of 1,2--aryl furanosides usually require complicated protection manipulations, resulting in lengthy synthetic routes and low overall efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- The chemistry of hypervalent iodine (HVI) reagents is gaining popularity for synthesizing various chemical structures due to their unique reactivity as oxidants and electrophiles.
- HVI reagents are affordable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly, making them appealing for chemical synthesis.
- A key application is the intramolecular HVI-mediated halocyclisation of alkenes, utilizing different nucleophiles (like carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur) to create halogenated cyclic compounds, with literature examples categorized by the halogens and nucleophiles used.
