Halogen‐bonded supramolecular capsules … … were investigated in the solid state, in solution, and in the gas phase. In their Communication on page 1152 ff. F. Diederich and co‐workers describe the first X‐ray crystal structure of a discrete, neutral, dimeric capsule assembled solely by halogen bonding. Tuning the halogen bonding donor with iodoethynyl leads to the highest reported association constant for neutral halogen bonding interactions in solution.
