Abstract. Halogenation, generally introduced on aromatic amino acids, is becoming a key supramolecular tool in peptides. Herein, we report the crystal structures and DFT study of two bis-halogenated tyrosines showing the subtle relationship between hydrogen and halogen bonds in promoting their supramolecular self-assembly.
