As a consequence of its chemical composition, the lake is highly alkaline with reported pH levels in the range 9–11.5. Yet, despite this uninviting climate, it is extremely productive biologically due to a number of well-adapted plankton (bacteria, archaea, diatoms and green algae) which thriv...
Charge-shift (CS) bonding is a new bonding paradigm in the field of chemical bonds. Our recent study has revealed that certain Cu/Ag/Au-bonds display both CS bonding and ω-bonding characters. In this investigation, we extend our study to halogen bonding. Our focus is on scrutinizing the ...
