Despite the early stage of development, materials scientists have used the halogen bond to construct a diverse range of LCs, ionic liquids, self‐healing polymers, and macroscopic self‐assembled gels. These initial materials provide perspective for the detailed discussions of solution‐based halogen bonding found in subsequent chapters. However, halogen bond‐based materials are still largely inspired and derived from hydrogen bond‐based materials. Surely, combining the ingenuity of the chemist with the directionality, tunability, solvent resistance, and lipophilicity of the halogen bond will produce unique materials for a variety of exciting applications. Future studies will improve the properties of halogen bonding materials and will be used to gain a greater understanding of the noncovalent interactions available to the chemist.
