Supramolecular assembly of molecular gold(I) compounds: An evaluation of the competition and complementarity between aurophilic (Au⋯Au) and conventional hydrogen bonding interactions by Tiekink, E.R.T.

Preparation and characterization of two supramolecular complexes with 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid under N-donor auxiliary ligand intervention by Zhang, Kou-Lin, Chang, Yan, Ng, Seik Weng

“…It is worthy to mention that halogen bonds (C-I⋯π and C-I⋯N/O) play important roles in the supramolecular assembly. The pentameric cluster (H2O)5 in 1 assembles into highly ordered helical infinite chains. …”

Synthesis, structure and properties of three 1D d10 metal–organic coordination polymers with 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalic acid by Zhang, L., Wei, Y., Zhong, Y.Q., Chang, Y., Meng, Q.H., Ng, S.W., Zhang, K.L.

“…It should be interesting to emphasize that the C-I...π halogen bonding plays significant role in the supramolecular assembly of 3. An acyclic trimeric water cluster (D3 chain) was observed and discussed in 2. …”
