Understanding the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the residues of proteins and
nucleic acids, and between drugs and proteins/nucleic acids, etc., has extraordinary …

The pnictogen bond (PnB) is a noncovalent attraction between electrophilic pnictogen
atoms, originated from the anisotropic distribution of electron density on Pn in a molecular …

Elements from groups 14–18 and periods 3–6 commonly behave as Lewis acids, which are
involved in directional noncovalent interactions (NCI) with electron-rich species (lone pair …

Dibenziodolium and diphenyliodonium triflates display high catalytic activity for the
multicomponent reaction that leads to a series of imidazopyridines. Density functional theory …

Sulfonium and selenonium salts, represented by S-aryl dibenzothiophenium and Se-aryl
