“…Because of the complexity of iodine chemistry, it is difficult to study it thoroughly by experimental methods, such as UV–vis spectro-photometry, ,, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. With the progress of computer science, quantum chemistry calculation has been extensively used to study chemical structures, physical properties, and reaction mechanisms. − For example, a deep understanding of the halogen bond has been obtained with the aid of quantum chemistry calculations. − The term “halogen bonding” is usually taken to mean the noncovalent interaction of a halogen atom X (Cl, Br, I) in one molecule with a negative site, such as the lone pair electrons (LPE) of a Lewis base, in another. , It can be related to the presence of a region of positive electrostatic potential, the σ-hole, on the outermost portion of the halogen atom surface. , Thus, a halogen bond is often present between a halogen atom (Cl, Br, I) and an atom containing a lone pair of electrons (O, N, S, Cl, Br, I...).…”
