It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

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

The chalcogen bond (ChB) is defined as a noncovalent interaction between the electron
density deficient region (so-called as σ or π hole) of a covalently bonded chalcogen atom …

We report here on the status of research on halogen bonds and other σ-hole interactions
involving p-block elements in Lewis acidic roles, such as chalcogen bonds, pnictogen bonds …

This communication reports experimental and theoretical evidences of σ‐hole interactions in
adducts between nitrogen or oxygen nucleophiles and tetroxides of osmium or other group 8 …

In this communication experimental and theoretical results are reported affording strong
evidence that interactions between electron rich atoms and the metal of tetroxide anions of …

Over the past several decades, halogen bonding has become a standard 'tool'in
supramolecular chemistry and particularly in crystal engineering. Traditionally, the study of …

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 …

Conspectus The topology of molecular electrostatic potential (MESP), V (r), derived from a
reliable quantum chemical method has been used as a powerful tool for the study of …

In this review, several examples of the application of pnictogen (Pn)(group 15) and
chalcogen (Ch) bonding (group 16) interactions in organocatalytic processes are gathered …
