Halogen–halogen interactions are a particularly interesting class of halogen bonds that are known to be essential design elements in crystal engineering. In solution, it is likely that halogen–halogen interactions also play a role, but the weakness of this interaction makes it difficult to characterize or even simply detect. We have designed a supramolecular balance that allows detecting Br⋯Br interactions between CBr3 groups in solution and close to room temperature. The sensitivity and versatility of the chosen platform have allowed accumulating consistent data. In halogenoalkane solvents, we propose estimates for the free energy of these weak halogen bond interactions. In toluene solutions, we show that the interactions between Br atoms and the solvent aromatic groups dominate over the Br⋯Br interactions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
