Double hole-lump interaction between halogen atoms

In this paper a theoretical study has been carried out to investigate the nature of the unusual halogen− halogen contacts in the complexes R−X···X−R (with R = −H, −Cl, −F and X = Cl, Br, I). AIM, NBO, and MEP analyses have been used to characterize X···X interactions. Formation of the unusual X···X...
