Abstract
Halophilic reactions have been modeled theoretically by employing CBr4, Cl3CCN, Cl3CCOCl, CCl4 and Cl3CF as substrates and Cl− as a nucleophile. It was found that the formation of the strong halogen bond is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the occurring of the halophilic reaction: the strong red-shifting halogen bond facilitates the reaction whereas the strong blue-shifting halogen bond retards it. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
