Mixed-halide perovskite provides band-gap tunability, which is essential for tandem solar cell application. However, ion migration inducing phase segregation seriously affects the device's long-term operational stability. The issue thus represents an important challenge for the whole perovskite community and urgently needs effective solutions. We showcase here for the first time that a strong chemical interaction, a halogen-halogen bond, is introduced at the phase interface to suppress the ion migration by increasing the corresponding activation energy. Various characterizations have proved that halogen-halogen bonds form between 2D and 3D phases, which do suppress the halide segregation. As expected, the encapsulated device retains 90% of initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) after maximum power point (MPP) tracking for ~500 h under continuous simulated 1-sun illumination (AM 1.5) in ambient conditions, representing one of the most stable, wide-band-gap, mixed-halide perovskite photovoltaics reported so far.

The engineering of crystalline molecular solids through the simultaneous combination of distinctive non-covalent interactions is an important field of research, as it could allow chemist to prepare materials depicting multi-responsive properties. It is in this context that, pushed by a will to expand the chemical space of chalcogen-bonding interactions, a concept is put forward for which chalcogen- and halogen-bonding interactions can be used simultaneously to engineer multicomponent co-crystals. Through the rational design of crystallizable molecules, chalcogenazolo pyridine scaffold (CGP) modules were prepared that, bearing either a halogen-bond acceptor or donor at the 2-position, can interact with suitable complementary molecular modules undergoing formation of supramolecular polymers at the solid state. The recognition reliability of the CGP moiety to form chalcogen-bonded dimers allows the formation of heteromolecular supramolecular polymers through halogen-bonding interactions, as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
Photoresponsive halogen bonded polycatenar liquid crystals

Photosensitive liquid crystalline materials whose properties could be modified with UV–visible light irradiation are of special interest for photosensitive and photoswitching materials. Herein we represent the first examples of light-responsive halogen bonded supramolecular polycatenars. Photoswitchable liquid-crystalline aggregates were designed and prepared via halogen bond formation between a non-mesogenic taper shaped tetrafluoroiodobenzene based halogen bond-donor and non-mesogenic or mesogenic azopyridine derivatives as halogen bond-acceptors. The liquid crystalline behaviour of the prepared materials was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscope (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Upon irradiation with UV light, the complexes undergo fast and reversible photoinduced phase transition. Interestingly, some of these halogen-bonded polycatenars exhibit enantiotropic liquid crystalline phases over wide temperature ranges which are the widest among all previously reported photoresponsive perfluoroaryliodide based supramolecular halogen bonded liquid crystals.
Nitroxide Radical Spin Probes for Exploring Halogen-Bonding Interactions in Solution

, p. 16017 - 16021 (2016/10/30)
The synthesis of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-iodobenzyl tert-butyl nitroxide (2-I) and its use as spin probe for the detection of halogen-bond (XB) complexes by EPR is reported. Formation of a XB complex between 2-I and several XB acceptors was evidenced by a significant change in the value of the benzylic hyperfine splitting upon complexation. Thermodynamic parameters for the formation of XB complex with quinuclidine were obtained by recording EPR spectra in the temperature range 203–294 K. In addition, competitive experiments allowed for the measurement of the equilibrium constant of the XB complex with a chloride anion. The proposed procedure constitutes the first direct EPR methodology providing a reliable determination of the strength of the XB bond in solution.

Molecular capsules based solely on the interaction of halogen bonding (XB) are presented along with their host-guest binding properties in solution. The first example of a well-defined four-point XB supramolecular system is realized by decorating resorcin[4]arene cavitands with polarized halogen atoms for dimerization with tetra(4-pyridyl) resorcin[4]arene cavitands. NMR binding data for the F, Cl, Br, and I cavitands as the XB donor show association constants (Ka) of up to 5370 M-1 (ΔG283 K=-4.85 kcal mol-1, for I), even in XB-competitive solvent, such as deuterated benzene/acetone/methanol (70:30:1) at 283 K, where comparable monodentate model systems show no association. The XB capsular geometry is evidenced by two-dimensional HOESY NMR, and the thermodynamic profile shows that capsule formation is enthalpically driven. Either 1,4-dioxane or 1,4-dithiane are encapsulated within each of the two separate cavities within the XB capsule, with of up to Ka=9.0 108 M-2 (ΔG283 K=-11.6 kcal mol-1).

Hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds can be used as synthetic vectors without structural interference as long as the primary molecular recognition events are designed around a careful combination of geometric and electrostatic complementarity. In addition, a one-step procedure for the synthesis of tectons equipped with powerful hydrogen- and halogen-bond donors is presented. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.

New liquid-crystalline materials were prepared by self-assembly driven by halogen bonding between a range of 4-alkoxystilbazoles, 4-alkyl-, and 4-alkoxy-substituted pyridines as halogen-bonding acceptors, and substituted derivatives of4-iodotetrafluorophenyl as halogen-bonding donors. Despite the fact that the starting materials are not mesomorphic, the dimeric, halogen-bonded complexes obtained exhibited nemetic and SmA phases, depending on the length of the alkylchains present on the components. The modularity of this approach also led to new chiral mesogens starting from non-mesomorphic chiral compounds.
