Metric Options: Counts3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In order to study the competition between halogen bond acceptor sites of multifunctional N,O,X-based halogen bond acceptors (X = S, O, N or π aromatic ring) we have synthesized a family of oxazole derivatives and cocrystallized them with selected iodoperfluorinated benzenes as halogen bond donors. Out of 28 combinations, 19 experiments yielded crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis revealed that in all of the obtained cocrystals the most prominent supramolecular interaction is the I⋯N halogen bond with relative shortening values of up to 18%, comparable to I⋯N halogen bond shortening values. The acceptors are ditopic in 10 cocrystals and form additional I⋯N, I⋯O or I⋯π halogen bonds. A majority of cocrystals feature one donor molecule per one acceptor molecule. In order to rank the acceptor sites and establish how the electrostatic potential differences impact the supramolecular landscape around these molecules, the values of molecular electrostatic potentials (MEPs) were calculated on their optimized geometries. These calculations were in agreement with experimental observations, since the best (most negative MEP value) acceptor binding site in the series of used oxazoles is the oxazole nitrogen atom. Depending on the difference between MEP values of the oxazole oxygen atom and the peripheral functionalities, additional halogen bonds could potentially be formed with one of these acceptor sites, leading to the formation of two different types of halogen-bonded supramolecular chains.
