Hypervalent halogen chemistry has recently evolved from a chemical curiosity to a widespread versatile synthetic methodology that is not limited to simple oxidation reactions anymore. In this thematic issue, we will cover the novel concepts and the latest developments in hypervalent halogen chemistry, in particular those addressing new reactivities, catalytic and/or enantioselective transformations, electrochemistry, as well as photochemistry.
