A family of cationic halogen bonding [2]rotaxanes have been synthesised via an active-metal template synthetic strategy. 1H NMR spectroscopic anion titration investigations reveal these interlocked host systems recognize halides selectively over oxoanions in aqueous–organic solvent media. Furthermore, systematically modulating the rigidity and size of the rotaxanes’ anion binding cavities via metal complexation, as well as by varying the number of halogen bond-donor groups in the axle component, was found to dramatically influence halide anion selectivity.

Two bistable halogen and hydrogen bonding-naphthalene diimide [2]rotaxanes have been prepared and the system incorporating a halogen bond donor anion recognition site is demonstrated to exhibit superior anion induced translational motion of the macrocyclic wheel component relative to the hydrogen bonding analogue.

A computational study of the iodide discrimination by different neutral and cationic iodotriazole halogen bonding hosts was carried out by means of Density Functional Theory. The importance of the size of the scaffold was highlighted and its impact observed in the binding energies and intermolecular X⋯I distances. Larger scaffolds were found to reduce the electronic repulsion and increase the overlap between the halide electron lone pair and the corresponding I-C antibonding orbital, increasing the halogen bonding interactions. Additionally, the planarity plays an important role within the interaction, and can be tuned using hydroxyl to perform intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IMHB) between the scaffold and the halogen atoms. Structures with IMHB exhibit stronger halogen bond interactions, as evidenced by the shorter intramolecular distances, larger electron density values at the bond critical point and more negative binding energies.

AbstractHalogen bonding is the noncovalent interaction where the halogen atom acts as an electrophile towards Lewis bases. Known for more than 200 years, only recently it has attracted interest in the context of solution-phase applications, especially during the last decade which was marked by the introduction of multitopic systems. In addition, the small yet rich collection of halogen-bond donor moieties that appeared in this period is shown to be versatile enough as to be applied in virtually any solvent system. This review covers the applications of halogen bonding in solution during the past ten years in a semi-comprehensive way. Emphasis is made on molecular recognition, catalytic applications and anion binding and transport. Medicinal applications are addressed as well with key examples. Focussing on the major differences observed for halogen bonding, as compared to the ubiquitous hydrogen bonding, it aims to contribute to the design of future solution-phase applications.

The development of solution-based anion receptor molecules which exploit halogen bonding interactions is an emerging area of research. This Feature Article reviews recent advances which have been made in this rapidly developing field, surveying the use of iodoperfluoroarene, haloimidazolium and halotriazole/triazolium halogen-bond-donor motifs in anion receptor design and describing the application of mechanically interlocked rotaxane and catenane frameworks as halogen bonding anion host systems.
