Exploring non-covalent interactions in binary aromatic complexes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: I molecules. The results underscore the tunability of solid-state architectures through targeted halogen substitution to probe subtle non-covalent interactions. In summary, this work advances our understanding of weak intermolecular forces in crystalline materials and provides data for the predictive design of functional co-crystals.
