Polymerization Reactions via Cross Coupling

Noncovalent interaction guided selectivity of haloaromatic isomers in a flexible porous coordination polymer

“…Among these selected isomers, dihalobenzenes are widely used as organic solvents, raw materials and intermediates for pharmaceuticals, pesticides and dye industries. [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] The recognition and separation of these are of high value and remain a grand challenge. 44,45 The dihalobenzene isomers have (i) different geometries due to the difference in positions of halogen substitution and (ii) different halogens (uorine: F, chlorine: Cl, and bromine: Br) having different polarizabilities and sizes.…”
