Ebook: Halogen Bonding: Fundamentals and Applications

From the reviews:

"The articles in this volume specifically address halogen bonding, and two aspects of it … . The contributions to this volume are reasonably up-to-date … . each chapter begins with a detailed table of contents and most of them also provide a list defining abbreviations. In summary, this is a very useful book that contains a great deal of information. I can certainly recommend it." (Peter Politzer, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 130 (31), 2008)
