It provides an introduction to the history of superhalogens, their conceptualization, and experimental confirmation and discusses in detail their properties and various applications. Some of the applications analyzed in the text include their potential use in the design of superacids, electrolytes for Li-ion batteries, and organic superconductors as well as their use in ionic liquids. The latest developments in the field are also presented. This brief is of great interest to graduates and researchers working at the interface of chemistry, physics, and materials science.SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science,2191-5415HalogensMicroclustersHalogens.Microclusters.541.22539.6Srivastava Ambrish Kumar1379142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910735787103321Superhalogens3418589UNINA
