| Halogen bonding is a new structure-determining force being utilized in the design of self-assembled systems. To date, there have been few structure-property relationship studies geared towards a better understanding of the nature of this force with respect to the acceptor halogen. In addition, little is known regarding the behavior of the nitro group as a donor in these types of non-bonded interactions. This project was aimed at quantifying the strength of the halogen bonding interaction in solution as a function of the electronics of the donors and acceptors through computational and classical Hammett physical organic chemical studies. We also present the synthesis and molecular recognition properties of receptors that serve as optical sensors for nitro-containing aromatics. |
