Key Points

The research aims to design and synthesize halogenated coordination complexes to investigate the factors influencing their bonding dynamics.
Developed a series of halogenated coordination complexes using Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), and Mn(II).
Conducted comprehensive structural elucidation to characterize the synthesized complexes.
Analyzed the thermodynamic driving forces for the halogen bonding interactions.
The novel halogenated coordination complexes exhibited significant variations in stability dependent on the metal center.
Thermodynamic analysis revealed that Cu(II) complexes showed the strongest halogen bonding interactions.
The findings suggest that extreme metal-to-ligand ratios can substantially influence the properties of these complexes.

Implication

Demonstrates the design of halogenated coordination complexes, indicating the role of metal ions in bonding strength.
