Halogen bonds with coordinative nature: halogen bonding in a S–I+–S iodonium complex

A thorough characterization of unusually strong I⁺–S halogen bonds indicates that halogen bonding is not merely an electrostatic contact but also has a strong coordinative nature, thus expanding the scope of halogen bonding.

Modification of the supramolecular structure of [(thione)IY] (Y = Cl, Br) systems by cooperation of strong halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds

Strong halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds cooperated to control the supramolecular structures of [(thione)IY] (Y = Cl, Br) compounds.

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging - a potential method for analysis of bone material

The basic usage of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microimaging for materials characterization is introduced. An application of microimaging for three-dimensional structural study of trabecular bone is presented with elementary types of image presentation. Solid bone in itself does not produce any significant NMR intensity and natural lipids and/or added 70% ethanol has been used as a signal source. The applied pulse sequences were three-dimensional spin echo and three-dimensional chemical shift selective spin echo.
