Ce. Marjo et al., USE OF HALOGEN SENSOR GROUPS FOR SPECIFIC TRAPPING OF POLYHALOALKANES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (21), 1994, pp. 2513-2514
Multiple halogen halogen interactions between the bromine atoms of 3 a
nd polyhaloalkanes result in the formation of stable inclusion compoun
ds, as illustrated here for the X-ray structure of 3.CHCl3, while othe
r molecules of comparable size are excluded.
