The first halonium-ion-based helices were designed and synthesized using oligo-aryl/pyridylene-ethynylene backbones that fold around reactive iodonium ions. Halogen bonding interactions stabilize the iodonium ions within the helices. Remarkably, the distance between two iodonium ions within a helix is shorter than the sum of their van der Waals radii. The helical conformations were characterized by X-ray crystallography in the solid state, by NMR spectroscopy in solution and corroborated by DFT ...[more]
