The theoretical data for the half-lantern complexes [{Pt((Formula presented.))(μ- (Formula presented.))}₂] [1–3; (Formula presented.) is cyclometalated 2-Ph-benzothiazole; (Formula presented.) is 2-SH-pyridine (1), 2-SH-benzoxazole (2), 2-SH-tetrafluorobenzothiazole (3)] indicate that the Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt orbital interaction increases the nucleophilicity of the outer d (Formula presented.) orbitals to provide assembly with electrophilic species. Complexes 1–3 were co-crystallized with bifunctional halogen bonding (XB) donors to give adducts (1–3)₂⋅(1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene) and infinite polymeric [1⋅1,1′-diiodoperfluorodiphenyl]_n. X-ray crystallography revealed that the supramolecular assembly is achieved through (Aryl)I⋅⋅⋅d (Formula presented.) [Pt^II] XBs between iodine σ-holes and lone pairs of the positively charged (Pt^II)₂ centers acting as nucleophilic sites. The polymer includes a curved linear chain ⋅⋅⋅Pt₂⋅⋅⋅I(arene^F)I⋅⋅⋅Pt₂⋅⋅⋅ involving XB between iodine atoms of the perfluoroarene linkers and (Pt^II)₂ moieties. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR, UV/Vis, and CV studies indicate that XB is preserved in CH(D)₂Cl₂ solutions.
