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 …

A novel pyrimidine containing sulfonamide derivative has been synthesized and
characterized by spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, NMR and Mass. Single crystal X-ray …

Quantum calculations study the potential of an intramolecular H-bond between the halogen
atom (X) of a halobenzene and a substituent placed ortho to it, to amplify the ability of X to …

The chalcogen Y atom in the aromatic ring of thiophene and its derivatives YC4H4 (Y= S,
Se, Te) can engage in a number of different interactions with another such unit within the …

A complex is assembled which pairs a carboxyl group of X1COOH with a 1, 2, 5-
chalcogenadiazole ring containing substituents on its C atoms. The OH of the carboxyl …

Quantum calculations study the manner in which the involvement of a halogen atom as a
proton acceptor in one or more H bonds (HBs) affects the strength of the halogen bond (XB) …

Open and cyclic chains from two to eight units of ICl and IF are constructed and examined by
density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These chains contain either I··· I or I··· X halogen …

Ab initio calculations are applied to the question as to whether a AeX5− anion (Ae= Kr, Xe)
can engage in a stable complex with another anion: F−, Cl−, or CN−. The latter approaches …

Halogen bonds play a pivotal role in molecular recognition and self-assembly processes. In
this work, we aim to provide a balanced understanding of diverse non-covalent interactions …

The interaction between a halogen atom and an electron-rich species is known as halogen
bonding. Due to its importance in numerous scientific domains, including materials science …
