In this review, we provide a consistent description of noncovalent interactions, covering most
groups of the Periodic Table. Different types of bonds are discussed using their trivial …

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 …

This review highlights recent studies discovering unconventional halogen bonding (HaB)
that involves positively charged metal centers. These centers provide their filled d‐orbitals …

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 …

Platinum (II) complexes exhibiting an expressed dz 2-nucleophilicity of the positively
charged metal centers, namely,[Pt (ppy)(acac)](1; acacH is acetylacetone; ppyH is 2-Ph …

Reactions of BiI3, I2, and iodide salts of two different pyridinum cations result in the
formation of the novel iodine-rich iodobismuthates (III)(1, 3-MePy) 4 {[Bi4I16](I2)}(1) and (1 …

The complexes [RhX (COD)] 2 (X= Cl, Br; COD= 1, 5-cyclooctadiene) form cocrystals with σ-
hole iodine donors. X-ray diffraction studies and extensive theoretical considerations …

The theoretical data for the half‐lantern complexes [{Pt ()(μ‐)} 2][1–3; is cyclometalated 2‐Ph‐
benzothiazole; is 2‐SH‐pyridine (1), 2‐SH‐benzoxazole (2), 2‐SH‐tetrafluorobenzothiazole …

Synthesis and X-ray characterization of the four diaryliodonium tetrachloroplatinates
(II)[Ar1Ar2I] 2 [PtCl4](Ar1/Ar2= Ph/Ph (1), 4-Cl-C6H4/2, 4, 6-(MeO) 3C6H2 (2), 4-Me-C6H4/2 …
