“…2,10 However, more and more attention is now paid to halomethanes, which can also behave as polyfunctional XB donors. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Concurrently, halide complexes of d-metals can be employed as XB acceptors and their combination with halomethanes leads to supramolecular clusters, chains, and 3D networks. 17,18,[20][21][22] The halomethanes CBr 4 , [11][12][13][18][19][20] CHI 3 , 14,15,17,23 CHBr 3 , 11,12,20 and CFBr 3 12,19 are the most commonly used among other halomethanes in the formation of XBs with uncomplexed halides and polyhalometalate anions.…”
