Electron belt-to-σ-hole switch of noncovalently bound iodine(<scp>i</scp>) atoms in dithiocarbamate metal complexes

Abstract

The nature of metals in the isostructural series of dithiocarbamate complexes affects the electron belt-to-σ-hole switch of noncovalently bound iodine(<sc>i</sc>) leading to either semicoordination, or halogen bonding.
