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

Owing to their molecular building blocks, yet highly crystalline nature, metal–organic
frameworks (MOFs) sit at the interface between molecule and material. Their diverse …

Recently, an intriguing all-carboatomic ring, cyclo [18] carbon, was observed in the
condensed phase for the first time, and it quickly attracted widespread attention. In this …

Sorption methodologies play a pivotal role in heavy metal removal to meet the global
requirements for uninterrupted access to drinkable water. Standard sorption technologies …

Although significant improvements have been achieved for organic photovoltaic cells
(OPVs), the top-performing devices still show power conversion efficiencies far behind those …

The halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an
electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic …

Supramolecular chemistry is “the chemistry of the intermolecular bond, covering the
structures and functions of the entities formed by association of two or more chemical …

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is recognized as a key half-reaction in water
electrolysis for clean hydrogen energy, which is kinetically not favored and usually requires …

A covalently-bonded atom typically has a region of lower electronic density, a “σ-hole,” on
the side of the atom opposite to the bond, along its extension. There is frequently a positive …

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 …
