Porphyrin’s Ring Current as a Driving Force for Halogen Bond Interactions: A Computational Study

16 July 2019, Version 1
Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

We demonstrate herein a computational study probing the influence of metalloporphyrin ring current directionality on intermolecular halogen bonding (XB) during supramolecular self-assembly. The results demonstrate that porphyrin ring current can activate or deactivate halogen bonding interactions, an essential superamolecular driving force.
