Halogen bonds are currently new noncovalent interactions due to their moderate strength and high directionality, which are widely investigated in crystal engineering. The study about supramolecular two-dimensional architectures on solid surfaces fabricated by halogen bonding has been performed recently. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has the advantages of realizing in situ, real-time, and atomic-level characterization. Our group has carried out molecular self-assembly induced by halogen bonds at the liquid–solid interface for about ten years. In this review, we mainly describe the concept and history of halogen bonding and the progress in the self-assembly of halogen-based organic molecules at the liquid/graphite interface in our laboratory. Our focus is mainly on (1) the effect of position, number, and type of halogen substituent on the formation of nanostructures; (2) the competition and cooperation of the halogen bond and the hydrogen bond; (3) solution concentration and solvent effects on the molecular assembly; and (4) a deep understanding of the self-assembled mechanism by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The self-assembly of 1,3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (13DITFB) and bipyridine (44BPY), C10H8N2·C6F4I2, is driven by halogen bonding. It results in infinite wave-like chains, with the two molecules in a 1:1 mole ratio. Both molecules lie on crystallographic mirror planes, bisecting the central 44BPY C—C bond and passing through two opposite CF groups of 13DITFB. The N...I halogen-bonding interaction is 2.902 (4) Å, and the C—I...N angle is almost linear [175.6 (2)°]. The chain ...13DITFB...44BPY... is polar, with all 13DITFB on the wave crest and all 44BPY at the bottom. This is in contrast to similar complexes obtained on self-assembly of 44BPY with 1,3-dibromotetrafluorobenzene (13DBrTFB), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (14DITFB) or 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (12DITFB), where centrosymmetric wave-like chains are observed.

Two new coordination polymers of Mn(iii)-tetra(iodophenyl)porphyrin with isonicotinate and pyrimidine-5-carboxylate linkers have been synthesized. The effect of halogen-bonding interactions on their self-assembly in the crystalline bulk and on a graphite surface has been discussed.

Solvent effect on self-assembly of 4,7-dibromo-5,6-bis(octyloxy)benzo[c][1,2,5] thiadiazole (DBT) on a highly oriented graphite (HOPG) surface was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) by using 1-phenyloctane, 1-octanoic acid, and 1-octanol as the solvents. Two different patterns were obtained in 1-phenyloctane and 1-octanoic acid, suggesting that the self-assembly of DBT was solvent dependent. At the 1-phenyloctane/HOPG interface, a linear structure was revealed due to the intermolecular halogen bonding. When 1-octanoic acid and 1-octanol are used as the solvents, the coadsorption of solvent molecules resulting from the hydrogen bonding between DBT and solvent made an important contribution to the formation of a lamellar structure. The results demonstrate that solvents could affect the molecular self-assembly according to the variational intermolecular interactions.

The major protein of the blue-green algae is the biliprotein, C-phycocyanin (Amax = 620 nm), which is presumed to exist in the cell in the form of distinct aggregates called phycobilisomes. The self-assembly of C-phycocyanin from monomer to hexamer has been extensively studied, but the proposed next step in the assembly of a phycobilisome, the formation of 19s subunits, is completely unknown. We have used electron microscopy and analytical ultracentrifugation in combination with a method for rapid and gentle extraction of phycocyanin to study its subunit structure and assembly.To establish the existence of phycobilisomes, cells of P. boryanum in the log phase of growth, growing at a light intensity of 200 foot candles, were fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M cacodylate buffer, pH 7.0, for 3 hours at 4°C. The cells were post-fixed in 1% OsO4 in the same buffer overnight. Material was stained for 1 hour in uranyl acetate (1%), dehydrated and embedded in araldite and examined in thin sections.
