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 …

On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

The σ-hole and π-hole are the regions with positive surface electrostatic potential on the
molecule entity; the former specifically refers to the positive region of a molecular entity …

The founding in 1965 of what is now called the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has
reaped dividends in numerous and diverse areas of chemical research. Each of the million …

We report here on the status of research on halogen bonds and other σ-hole interactions
involving p-block elements in Lewis acidic roles, such as chalcogen bonds, pnictogen bonds …

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 …

Well-orchestrated noncovalent interactions are fundamental in chemical processes. 1 For
example, the assembly of complementary subunits to form functional aggregates is a …

In contrast to hydrogen bonding, which is firmly established in organocatalysis, there are still
very few applications of halogen bonding in this field. Herein, we present the first catalytic …

Halenium ions, X+, are particularly strong halogen-bond donors that interact with two Lewis
bases simultaneously to form linear [D··· X··· D]+-type halonium complexes. Their three …
