The fluorine atom as a halogen bond donor, viz. a positive site
Abstract
When bound to residues which can work as particularly strong electron withdrawing groups, fluorine can display a region of positive electrostatic potential (positive σ-hole). Fluorine can thus function as a halogen bond donor and form complexes with lone-pair-containing neutral atoms and anions. Examples in the gas, liquid, and solid phases are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
