Graphycal Abstract: This review highlights the crucial role of halogen bonding in governing the synthesis, crystal engineering, and supramolecular self-assembly of 1,3,5-triazapentadiene (TAP) metal complexes. It covers synthetic strategies, the σ-hole model, cooperative non-covalent interactions, and diverse functional applications including catalysis and material design.
