The halogen bonding (XB), namely the interactions where halogen atoms function as electrophilic species [1], has proven its efficiency and reliability in supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering, and materials science [2]. Its potential and use in anion coordination and anion-templated assembly has been discovered and investigated only recently [3].

In this contribution, we report some examples of anion binding driven by halogen bonding where halides anions act as halogen bonding acceptors. We will also present how XB directs the self-assembly of oxyanions, by far the most numerous class of anions in organic chemistry, forming discrete adducts and 1D, 2D, or 3D supramolecular networks with halocarbons. Some specific examples will be discussed in order to identify new supramolecular synthons based on halogen bonding and to outline some general principles for the design of effective and selective receptors based on this interaction.
