“…Very often theoretical studies on charge-assisted XBs deal with interactions between neutral halogenatedm olecules and anions, for example, RÀBr···Br À ,R ÀBr···NC À , [25] or CR 3 X···Br À ···XCR 3 bidentate systems (R = F, H; X= Br,I ). [26] In some cases, such as in FCl···CNR complexes (R = CN, NC, NO 2 ,F , CF 3 ,C l, Br,H ,C CF,C CH, CH 3 ,S iH 3 ,L i, and Na), traditional halogen bonds are formed when CNR is aw eak base, but with strongb ases, such as CNLi and CNNa,i on-pair halogen bonds are formed. [27] As imilar effect was observed in related FCl···CNH···(CNR) n (R = H, Li, and Na), [28] Cl 2 ···CNR, Cl 2 ···SiNR, or FCl···SiNR [29] complexes.…”
