TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the densities of C,H,N,O molecular crystals are, in many instances, given quite well by the formula M/Vm, in which M is the molecular mass and Vm is the volume.

TL;DR: It is seen that the substitution of fluorines in systems containing smaller halogens results in electrostatic potentials resembling those of systems with larger halogens, with correspondingly stronger interaction energies, and it is shown that aromatic fluorine substitutions affect the optimal geometries of the halogen-bonded complexes.

TL;DR: Covalently bonded atoms, at least in Groups V–VII, may have regions of both positive and negative electrostatic potentials on their surfaces, which make it possible for such an atom in one molecule to interact electrostatically with its counterpart in a second, identical molecule, forming a highly directional noncovalent bond.

TL;DR: Examination of the electrostatic potentials of the substituted bromobenzene and bromopyrimidine monomers indicates that the addition of substituents has a large influence upon the most positive electro static potential on the surface of the interacting bromine and thus modulates these halogen bonding interactions.
