Abstract

Abstract The nature of intermolecular interactions between halogen atoms, X ⋅⋅⋅ X (X=Cl, Br, I), continues to be of topical interest because these interactions may be used as design elements in crystal engineering. Hexahalogenated benzenes (C 6 Cl 6− n Br n , C 6 Cl 6− n I n , C 6 Br 6− n I n ) crys...
