Abstract
Halogen bonds have been identified in a series of ionic compounds involving bromonium and iodonium cations and several different anions, some also containing hypervalent atoms. The hypervalent bromine and iodine atoms in the examined compounds are found to have positive σ-holes on the extensions of their covalent bonds, while the hypervalent atoms in the anions have negative σ-holes. The positive σ-holes on the halogens of the studied halonium salts determine the linearity of the short contacts between the halogen and neutral or anionic electron donors, as usual in halogen bonds.
