The halogen bond is a special non-covalent interaction, which can represent a powerful tool in supramolecular chemistry. Although the halogen bond offers several advantages compared to the related hydrogen bond, it is currently still underrepresented in polymer science. The structural related hydrogen bonding assumes a leading position in polymer materials containing supramolecular interactions, clearly indicating the high potential of using halogen bonding for the design of polymeric materials. The current developments regarding halogen bonding containing polymers include self-assembly, photo-responsive materials, self-healing materials and others. These aspects are highlighted in the present perspective. Furthermore, a perspective on the future of this rising young research field is provided.
