Key Points

This research aims to explore the interactions between carbenes and halogen bonds as Lewis bases and acids.
Utilized divalent carbenes and ICN as the Lewis acid for experimental setups.
Conducted DFT calculations to examine the formation of halogen bonds.
Diverse carbenes exhibited the ability to form effective halogen bonds with ICN.
Results from DFT calculations confirmed the interaction strength and stability of these bonds.

Implication

Experimental analysis shows how carbenes interact with halogen bonds, suggesting new applications in chemistry.

Abstract

A halogen bond is formed by a wide range of divalent CR 2 carbenes with ICN as Lewis acid, and the results examined by DFT calculations. These carbenes form much...
