Macrocyclic complexes based on [N⋯I⋯N]<sup>+</sup> halogen bonds
Shilin Yu, Elina Kalenius, Antonio Frontera, Kari Rissanen
Abstract
a simple ligand exchange reaction manifest rigid 0.5-1 nm cavities that bind the hexafluorophosphate anion in the gas phase. The size of the cavities and the electrostatic interactions with the iodine(I) cations influence the anion binding properties of these macrocyclic complexes.
