The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

Non‐covalent interactions play a crucial role in (supramolecular) chemistry and much of
biology. Supramolecular forces can indeed determine the structure and function of a host …

A σ-hole bond is a noncovalent interaction between a covalently-bonded atom of Groups IV–
VII and a negative site, eg a lone pair of a Lewis base or an anion. It involves a region of …

Noncovalent bonding interactions are crucial in many chemical and biological phenomena
and they have been intensively investigated for many years.[1] The hydrogen bond (AH··· D) …

Halogen bonding is a noncovalent interaction that is receiving rapidly increasing attention
because of its significance in biological systems and its importance in the design of new …

Many covalently-bonded atoms of Groups IV–VII have regions of positive electrostatic
potential (σ-holes) opposite to the bonds, along their extensions. Through these positive …

It is well-established that many covalently-bonded atoms of Groups IV–VII have directionally-
specific regions of positive electrostatic potential (σ-holes) through which they can interact …

A set of 35 representative neutral and charged tetrel complexes was investigated with the
objective of finding the factors that influence the strength of tetrel bonding involving single …

Covalently-bonded atoms of Groups IV–VII tend to have anisotropic charge distributions, the
electronic densities being less on the extensions of the bonds (σ-holes) than in the …

Ab initio calculations have been performed for the complexes H+–PyTX3⋯ NH3 and H+–
furanTF3⋯ NH3 (T= C, Si, and Ge; X= F and Cl) with focus on geometries, energies, orbital …
