XB‐based nodes as supramolecular synthons : The X’‐aryl isocyanide trans ‐[PdBr 2 (CNC 6 H 4 ‐4‐X’) 2 ] (X’=Br, I) and nitrile trans ‐[PtX 2 (NCC 6 H 4 ‐4‐X’) 2 ] (X/X’=Cl/Cl, Cl/Br, Br/Cl, Br/Br) complexes exhibit similar structural motif in the solid state, which is determined by hitherto unreported four‐center nodes formed by cyclic halogen bonding. These nodes serve as supramolecular synthons to form 2D‐layers or double chains of molecules linked by halogen bond. More information can be found in the Communication by V. Yu. Kukushkin et al. on page 13671.
