Abstract The major breakthrough reported in this work is the discovery of likely halogen bond‐driven self‐disproportionation of enantiomers (SDE). Taking into account that the halogen‐bonding interactions can be rationally designed and can match, or even exceed, the strength of the more familiar hydrogen bond, this discovery clearly opens an unexpected new direction of research in the areas of molecular chirality and the SDE phenomenon.
