TLDR
The specific advantages brought up by a design based on the use of the halogen bond will be demonstrated in quite different fields spanning from material sciences to biomolecular recognition and drug design.Abstract:
The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic region in another, or the same, molecular entity. In this fairly extensive review, after a brief history of the interaction, we will provide the reader with a snapshot of where the research on the halogen bond is now, and, perhaps, where it is going. The specific advantages brought up by a design based on the use of the halogen bond will be demonstrated in quite different fields spanning from material sciences to biomolecular recognition and drug design.read more

Independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition: A new method for visual study of interactions in chemical systems
TL;DR: In this paper , the Hirshfeld partition of molecular density (IGMH) was proposed to replace the free-state atomic densities involved in the IGM method with the atomic density derived by Hirshfield partition of actual molecular electron density, which made IGM have more rigorous physical background.

A Spectrophotometric Investigation of the Interaction of Iodine with Aromatic Hydrocarbons
H. A. Benesi,Joel H. Hildebrand +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the position of the absorption bands of iodine solutions in the visible region moved gradually from violet to brown, the shift being only small in the case of benzene in which the color of iodine is a red-violet.
