Halogen bonding, akin to hydrogen bonding, is a noncovalent interaction between a positive region on a halogen atom and a negative site, such as a lone pair on a nitrogen or oxygen. Following on the ...

New research shows that using halogens -- a class of elements that include fluoride, bromine, chlorine and iodine -- in a dye-sensitized solar cell can increase conversion efficiency by 25 per cent.

Halogen bonding has been applied in crystal engineering, materials research, and nanotechnology for some time. Scientists have now developed a new tool to use halogen bonds for drug discovery ...

Jim Roberts and colleagues inhaled petrochemical fumes and navigated between ships and oil platforms in order to understand halogen chemistry in the Houston area and along the Texas coast. We cruised ...

THE FIRST DIRECT atmospheric measurements of iodine oxide and bromine oxide above the Antarctic snowpack unexpectedly indicate that the chemicals participate in destroying ozone and change the ...
