讲座内容：

A halogen bond (XB) is a short contactbetween a Lewis base (XB acceptor) and an electrophilic region of a heavyhalogen atom (XB donor); this electrophilic region is commonly referred to asthe sigma hole. In the early days of XBs, X-ray diffraction has madegroundbreaking contributions by identifying such contacts and establishingtheir geometry. Our best diffraction experiments can do better: X-rays interactwith electrons, and high resolution diffraction can provide a subatomic imageof the electron density. Such experiments allow to test the theoretical modelfor XBs, gauge their strength and explain bond activation in XB donormolecules.
