Among the known types of non-covalent interactions with a Au (I) metal center, Au (I)
involving halogen bonding (XB) remains a rare phenomenon that has not been studied …

To explore the binding energy profiles and elucidate the bonding nature in counter-intuitive
anion⋯ anion coinage bonds (CiBs), thirty-one complexes were constructed, and the inter …

It is usually expected that formation of a halogen bond (XB) requires that a region of positive
electrostatic potential associated with a σ or π-hole on the Lewis acid will interact with the …

Noncovalent interactions involving metals as electron acceptors are continuously under
investigation. The term “matere bond” has been proposed to identify noncovalent donor …

We report a set of three new mixed-valent AuI AuIII iodides:(ClPy) 3 [AuI2] 2 [AuI4][1],(BrPy)
3 [AuI2] 2 [AuI4][2], and (ClPy) 2 [AuI2][AuI4][3], as well as three new monovalent AuIII …

While it may seem straightforward to enlist quantum chemical calculations to evaluate the
energy of a particular atom-to-atom noncovalent bond within the context of a crystal …

In recent years Pd (II) and Pt (II) cases have been reported wherein metals in square planar
complexes were used as nucleophilic partners to construct supramolecular assemblies with …

The ability of an anion to serve as electron‐accepting Lewis acid in a noncovalent bond is
assessed via DFT calculations. NH3 is taken as the common base, and is paired with a host …

The realm of hybrid materials encompasses an expansive range of chemical compositions
and use cases. Combination of organic and inorganic species grants the resulting …

Noncovalent interactions involving metals as electron acceptors are continuously under
