Astatine has been shown to form stronger halogen bonds than I2—meaning that astatine conforms to the trend, and behaves as a halogen-bond donor—a stronger one than iodine—owing to its much more electrophilic σ-hole.

Using competition experiments, an equilibrium constant value of 10(-6.9) has been determined for the formation of this species from AtO(OH) with the exchange of one proton, which is of interest for the development of (211) At radiolabeling protocols.

Theoretical investigations show that the reactivity of cationic species of astatine is highly sensitive to spin-orbit coupling and solvent effects, and the presented computational methodology appears to be the only tool to gain an insight intoAstatine chemistry at a molecular level.

The quantum mechanical calculations definitively ruled out any rationale based on either the metallic character of astatine or its guessed softness; the favored interactions all involve specifically the oxygen atom of AtO+, leading to the formation of covalent O-S or O-C single bonds.
