Halogen bonding as a supramolecular dynamics catalyst

Halogen bonding as a supramolecular dynamics catalyst

The halogen bond is well known for its ability to assemble supramolecules. Here, using NMR experiments, the authors reveal the role of these bonds in dynamic processes, finding that the halogen bond directly catalyzes dynamical rotation in solid cocrystals by reducing the associated energy barrier.
