Non‐covalent interactions play a crucial role in (supramolecular) chemistry and much of
biology. Supramolecular forces can indeed determine the structure and function of a host …

A tetrel bond can be defined as an interaction between any electron donating moiety and a
group 14 element acting as Lewis acid. Experimental and theoretical research on this …

The topological and energetic properties of the electron density distribution ρ (r) of the
isolated pairwise H⋯ F interaction have been theoretically calculated at several geometries …

Tetrel (Tr) bonding is first placed into perspective as a σ‐hole bonding interaction with atoms
of the Tr family. An sp3 R4Tr unit has four σ‐holes with which a Lewis base can form a …

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 …

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 …

Quantum calculations are used to examine the properties of heterodimers formed by a
series of tetrel-containing molecules with NH3 as universal Lewis base. TH4 was taken as a …

We present the CHAL336 benchmark set—the most comprehensive database for the
assessment of chalcogen-bonding (CB) interactions. After careful selection of suitable …

The triel bond may be defined as the interaction of the atom of 13th group that acts as the
Lewis acid centre with the electron rich site of the species playing a role of the Lewis base …

The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole
interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their …
