A halogen bonding molecular tweezer

Abstract

A tweezer-like halogen bonding receptor is presented, which is capable of binding a neutral molecule (DABCO) from opposing sides. The coordination of DABCO as well as of chloride ions is investigated in the solid state via X-ray diffractometry and in solution via NMR titrations. Accompanying DFT calculations were employed to rationalize the findings.
