Abstract

HOX (X=Cl, Br, I, and At) can engage in either a H‐bond (HB) or halogen bond (XB) with a base‐like HCN, NH3, and imidazole. Although the former is energetically preferred for X=Cl and Br, it is the XB that is more stable for At, with I showing little preference. MgY2 forms a Mg‐bond with the O atom of HOX, which grows stronger in the order X=Cl
