Ability of carbenes to act as Lewis bases within a halogen bond
Abstract
, make this C especially strongly nucleophilic, enough so as to partially extract the I from the ICN unit. The carbene halogen bonds have all of the characteristics of their classic counterparts, including a high dependence upon Coulombic interaction.
