The participation of organic fluorine as a halogen bond donor is rare and is sensitive to the electronic environment in the vicinity of the fluorine atom. The enhancement in the electropositive character (the σ-hole formalism) in fluorine is established by the presence of electron withdrawing groups and this has been examined in the solid-state structures in small molecules and proteins. Short, directional F⋯O contacts have been observed and physical insights obtained, from quantum mechanical calculations, via the molecular electrostatic potential, an analysis of their topological features from atoms-in-molecules, and donor–acceptor characteristics from natural bond orbital analyses. It was observed that such contacts, cooperatively act in the presence of other interactions, and the formed aggregates are stabilizing in nature. In addition, the F⋯O has a bonding character and is attractive in nature. The halogen bonding character of fluorine is relevant in supramolecular chemistry.

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.
