Supramolecular Route to Fluorinated Coatings: Self-Assembly Between Poly(4-vinylpyridines) and Haloperfluorocarbons

On the Importance of Halogen–Halogen Interactions in the Solid State of Fullerene Halides: A Combined Theoretical and Crystallographic Study

“…For instance, Resnati and colleagues have reported the ability of iodo-and bromo-perfluorocarbons to form non-covalent interactions with neutral and charged electron donors. In particular, they demonstrated the ability of halo-perfluoroalkanes to participate as halogen-bond donor moieties in crystal engineering, unveiling a promising potential of halogen bonding interactions in supramolecular chemistry [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Consequently, a series of studies using the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) were carried out in order to shed light on the impact of this interaction in solid state chemistry [20,21].…”

Supramolecular nano-architectures and two-dimensional/three-dimensional aggregation of a bolaamphiphilic diacid at the air/water interface

“…Supramolecular architectures formed in the organized molecular films such as monolayers [1][2][3], LangmuirBlodgett (LB) films [4][5][6][7], self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) [8,9] and other systems like vesicles and micelles [10][11][12][13][14] have been attracting much interest. Typical amphiphiles, in which one headgroup and one hydrophobic chain are simultaneously contained, play an important role in forming these organized architectures.…”

Cyclotriphosphazene [N3P3(2,2′-dioxybiphenyl)2-(4-pyridinoxy)2] and its halogen bonded complex with 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene

“…12,13 Moreover, fluorine-containing polyphosphazenes are a very important class of phosphazene derivatives because of their structure variability, synthetic versatility and very wide range of properties. 19,20 Applications in stereoselective photocyclization of olefins, 21 synthesis of liquid crystalline materials, 22,23 and non-covalent fluorous coating of polymers 24 have already been reported. 15 Bromo and iodo substituted perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are nicely tailored to XB based supramolecular chemistry 16 and thus behave as particularly robust tectons.…”
