“Smart” Triiodide Compounds: Does Halogen Bonding Influence Antimicrobial Activities?

Antimicrobial agents containing symmetrical triiodides complexes with halogen bonding may release free iodine molecules in a controlled manner. This happens due to interactions with the plasma membrane of microorganisms which lead to changes in the structure of the triiodide anion. To verify this hy...
