Molecular-beam scattering experiments and theoretical calculations prove the nature, strength, and selectivity of the halogen bonds (XB) in the interaction of halogen molecules with the series of noble gas (Ng) atoms. The XB, accompanied by charge transfer from the Ng to the halogen, is shown to take place in, and measurably stabilize, the collinear conformation of the adducts, which thus becomes (in contrast to what happens for other Ng-molecule systems) approximately as bound as the T-shaped form. It is also shown how and why XB is inhibited when the halogen molecule is in the Π excited state. A general potential formulation fitting the experimental observables, based on few physically essential parameters, is proposed to describe the interaction accurately and is validated by ab initio computations.

Objective: This study aimed to reexplore minimum iodine excretion and to build a dietary iodine recommendation for Chinese adults using the obligatory iodine loss hypothesis.
Methods: Data from 171 Chinese adults (19-21 years old) were collected and analyzed based on three balance studies in Shenzhen, Yinchuan, and Changzhi. The single exponential equation was accordingly used to simulate the trajectory of 24 h urinary iodine excretion as the low iodine experimental diets offered (iodine intake: 11-26 μg/day) and to further deduce the dietary reference intakes (DRIs) for iodine, including estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended nutrient intake (RNI).

Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials have promoted significant progress in low-dimensional magnetism and its technological applications. Among them, atomically thin chromium trihalides (CrX with X = Cl, Br, and I) are among the most studied 2D magnets due to their unique magnetic properties. In this work, we employ density functional theory calculations to investigate the mechanical and electronic properties of CrX monolayers in the presence of in-plane uniaxial strain.

In single crystals of C-N atropisomeric -(2-halophenyl)quinolin-2-one and the thione analogue, a unique association based on a halogen-π interaction was detected. In racemic and optically pure -(2-bromo- or 2-chlorophenyl)quinolin-2-ones, homochiral layered polymers, which consist of ()- or ()-atropisomers, were formed through intermolecular halogen-π association. The halogen-π association in the racemates is due to a halogen bond (C-X···π) between a σ-hole on the halogen atom and a π-electron on the quinolinone benzene ring, while that in optically pure forms is caused by an n-π* interaction between a lone electron pair on the halogen atom and a π* orbital of the quinolinone.

A visible light-driven, KSO-mediated one-step synthesis of 2-halo glycals has been reported, employing potassium salts as halogen source (KI, KBr, and KCl). Versatility of the proposed methodology to generate chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-substituted d-glycals containing both aliphatic and aromatic substitutions emphasizes the reproducibility of the methodology. The synthesized halogenated derivatives were subjected to Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions, showcasing the utility of the halogenated derivatives for subsequent C-2 functionalization reactions of d-glycals.

This review examines the chemical and ecological interactions between filter-feeding mussels and the green macroalga Ulva prolifera in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. Mussels are crucial for nutrient recycling, as they filter water and release bioavailable compounds such as ammonium (NH), urea (CO(NH)), and dissolved organic matter (DOM). These compounds promote Ulva growth and enhance microbial activity.
