Over the last years, scientific interest in noncovalent interactions based on the presence of
electron-depleted regions called σ-holes or π-holes has markedly accelerated. Their high …

The σ-and π-hole interactions are used to define attractive forces involving elements of
groups 12–18 of the periodic table acting as Lewis acids and any electron rich site (Lewis …

Herein, two crystalline schiff bases:(E)-2, 4-dibromo-6-(((3, 4-dichlorophenyl) imino) methyl)
phenol (DCBA) and (E)-2, 4-dichloro-6-(((2, 4, 5-trichlorophenyl) imino) methyl) phenol …

Herein, the potential of ZO3 and ZF2 aerogen-comprising molecules (where Z= Ar, Kr, and
Xe) to engage in σ-, lp-, and π-hole site-based interactions was comparatively studied using …

Perfluorinated arenes (benzeneF derivatives, diphenylF, naphthaleneF) were converted into
X-perfluoroarenes (X= Br, I) via the developed one-pot protocol based on [Fe …

Computations indicate that cationic and noncharged xenon derivatives should exhibit higher
catalytic activity than their iodine-based noncovalent organocatalytic congeners …

Noble gas (or aerogen) bond (NgB) can be outlined as the attractive interaction between an
electron-rich atom or group of atoms and any element of Group-18 acting as an electron …

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 …

Five structures bearing the N, N, N-trimethylammonium unit have been investigated to
address the ability of the N+–CH3 unit to function as a tetrel bond donor site. Charged and …

This paper accounts for a general procedure of bonding analysis that is, expectedly,
adequate to describe any type of interaction involving the noble-gas (Ng) atoms. Building on …
