Redox-active bidentate halogen bond donors based on halopyridinium groups as halogen-bond donating units were synthesized and their structures were elucidated by X-ray diffraction analyses and DFT calculations. Via reversible twofold reduction, these dicationic species can be transformed to neutral compounds which should be much weaker Lewis acids. The corresponding electrochemical data were obtained, and CV as well as UV-vis and NMR techniques were also used to determine binding constants of these halogen bond donors to halides. While all titrations agree on the relative order of binding strengths (with chloride being bound strongest), there are marked deviations in the overall affinity constants which are discussed. In contrast to earlier azo-bridge analogues, the ethylene-linked variants presented herein do not oxidize halides, and thus the novel halogen bond donors could also be used as Lewis acidic organocatalysts in a halide abstraction benchmark reaction, yielding a performance similar to bis(haloimidazolium)-derived catalysts.

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.
