Hole interactions are known by different names depending on the key atom of the bond
(halogen bond, chalcogen bond, hydrogen bond, etc.), and the geometry of the interaction (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 …

For the first time, sigma (σ)-and lone-pair (lp)-hole site-based interactions of SF4 and SeF4
molecules in seesaw geometry with NH3 and FH Lewis bases were herein comparatively …

The T and X atoms of TF3X (T= C, Si, Ge, Sn; X= Cl, Br, I) can engage in a tetrel or halogen
bond, respectively, with an approaching NH3 base. With the exception of T= C, the tetrel …

The structure of the 5, 6-dichloro-2, 1, 3-benzoselenadiazole homodimer, obtained by
adding the ligand, 4, 5-dichloro-o-phenylenediamine, to the methanolic solution of SeCl4 …

The activation of silanes in dehydrogenative coupling with alcohols under general base
catalysis was studied experimentally (using multinuclear NMR, IR, and UV–visible …

When an N-base approaches the tetrel atom of TF4 (T= Si, Ge, Sn) the latter molecule
deforms from a tetrahedral structure in the monomer to a trigonal bipyramid. The base can …

In order to accommodate the approach of two NCH bases, a tetrahedral TF4 molecule (T=
Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) distorts into an octahedral structure in which the two bases can be situated …

Here, we present the first example of sp3 hybridized carbon centered (Csp3) tetrel bonding
mediated 3D BODIPY assembly via the exceptional synergy of Csp3⋯ N and Csp3⋯ F pair …

For the first time, the potentiality of the sp 2-hybridized group IV-VII radical (R•)-containing
molecules to participate in R•-hole interactions was comparatively assessed using• SiF 3,• …
