Halogen•••halogen interactions have been a matter of debate and interest over the past few decades and still continue to be one of the most fascinating research areas in recent times as these interactions are very useful for designing elements in crystal engineering. In crystal engineering strategies, for designing molecular crystals of varying dimensionality, halogen•••halogen interactions among molecular building blocks affect the molecular assembly and crystal packing. However, most of the studies focus on the organic crystal engineering and explore very little of the metal-containing supramolecular assembly. In this perspective, we exclusively highlight the impact of halogen•••halogen interactions in the structural architectures and applications of coordination polymers (CPs)/metal−organic frameworks (MOFs). Again, these interactions also play a significant role in controlling the structure−property relationships of CPs. Therefore, careful efforts have been dedicated to understand the way that they influence solid-state molecular properties, such as gas sorption, sensing, conductivity, vapochromism, magnetism, and mechanical plasticity etc.
