Halogen bonding is by now firmly established in crystal engineering , but in the vast majority of cases, single‐point interactions are used. The combination of double bidentate halogen‐bond donors with double bidentate acceptors allows the preparation of halogen‐bonding motifs based on two‐point recognition. Conformational changes, predicted by DFT calculations, were used to obtain different network topologies. More information can be found in the Full Paper by D. Bulfield, S. M. Huber et al. on page 1567.
