This review describes the recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs (in
the year 2021) containing at least one halogen atom (covalently bound). The structures …

In the field of noncovalent interactions a new paradigm has recently become popular. It
stems from the analysis of molecular electrostatic potentials and introduces a label, which …

Halogen bonding, the noncovalent interaction based on electrophilic halogen substituents,
features very interesting properties, as illustrated by numerous applications continuously …

The halogen bond is a powerful non-covalent interaction between the electron deficient
sigma-hole region of a group 17 halogen element covalently bonded to electron …

A halogen bond is an attractive non-covalent interaction between an electrophilic region in a
covalently bonded halogen atom and a Lewis base. While these interactions have long …

Two-dimensional Dion–Jacobson (DJ) perovskites have shown improved structure stability
in comparison with Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites. However, the mechanism behind …

The aim of this review is threefold. On the one hand, we intend it to serve as a gentle
introduction to the Interacting Quantum Atoms (IQA) methodology for those unfamiliar with it …

In addition to the underlying basic concepts and early recognition of halogen bonding, this
paper reviews the conflicting views that consistently appear in the area of noncovalent …

The ongoing effort toward stabilizing hybrid perovskite solar cells and enhancing their
performance has stimulated the community to pursue a number of strategies. Over the recent …

An interaction between two atoms, bonded or non-bonded, consists of interatomic
contributions: electrostatic energy, exchange energy and electronic correlation energy …
