Halogen-bond-based Assembly Strategies

This section covers structures and assemblies that have been constructed principally through X- X, N - -X, and C=N X (where X is either Cl, Br, or I). For information on the nature of such interactions, see some recent review articles [46]. 

Halogen halogen interactions have also been used to design even more complex architectures, and the crystal structure determination of 1,3,5,7-tetraio-doadamantane reveals the presence of a 3-D diamondoid-like network established through multiple iodo- dodo interactions [57, 58].
