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 …

The σ-hole and π-hole interactions allow for a systematic understanding of some features of
the attractive interactions involving elements of groups 13–18 of the periodic table and of …

The tetrel bond (TB) recruits an element drawn from the C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb family as electron
acceptor in an interaction with a partner Lewis base. The underlying principles that explain …

We report evidence of the favorable noncovalent interaction between a covalently bonded
atom of Group 18 (known as noble gases or aerogens) and a negative site, for example, a …

Tetrel (Tr) bonding is first placed into perspective as a σ‐hole bonding interaction with atoms
of the Tr family. An sp3 R4Tr unit has four σ‐holes with which a Lewis base can form a …

Carbon bonds (C‐bonds) are the highly directional noncovalent interactions between
carbonyl‐oxygen acceptors and sp3‐hybridized‐carbon σ‐hole donors through n→ σ …

The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole
interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their …

Halogen (X‐bond) and chalcogen bond (Ch− bond) energies for 36 complexes have been
obtained at the RI‐MP2/def2− TZVP level of theory, involving the heavier halogen and …

A theoretical study of the cooperativity in linear chains of (H3SiCN) n and (H3SiNC) n
complexes connected by tetrel bonds has been carried out by means of MP2 and CCSD (T) …
