Abstract

Superhalogens are species explored more than four decades earlier in 1981. Since their confirmation in 1999, such species were paid much attention. In this Chapter, an introduction to the field of superhalogens has been offered. Starting from their background, theoretical prediction, and experimental verification, the recent progress in the design of superhalogens has been discussed. Various ligands used in the design of superhalogens and the strategy to design polynuclear superhalogens have been revealed. Some related topics such as electron counting rules and non-coordinating anions have been also mentioned.
