BACKGROUND Just over a century ago, Gilbert N. Lewis published his seminal work “The
Atom and the Molecule” on what later became known as the covalent bond. Since then …

" The story is told by THE inventor-pioneer-master in the field and is accompanied by
amazing illustrations...[it] will become an absolute reference and a best seller in chemistry!" …

Supramolecular chemistry is “the chemistry of the intermolecular bond, covering the

Abstract Structure‐based ligand design in medicinal chemistry and crop protection relies on
the identification and quantification of weak noncovalent interactions and understanding the …

Half a century after Schill and Lüttringhaus carried out the first directed synthesis of a [2]
catenane, a plethora of strategies now exist for the construction of molecular Hopf links …

The halogen bond is a powerful non-covalent interaction between the electron deficient
sigma-hole region of a group 17 halogen element covalently bonded to electron …

Halogen bonding (XB), the attractive interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom
and a Lewis base, has undergone a dramatic development as an intermolecular force …

The synthesis and anion binding properties of novel halogen-bonding (XB) bis-iodotriazole-
pyridinium-containing acyclic and [2] catenane anion host systems are described. The XB …

Molecular capsules based solely on the interaction of halogen bonding (XB) are presented
along with their host–guest binding properties in solution. The first example of a well …

Catenanes–molecules consisting of interlocked macrocyclic rings–have been prepared by
templation strategies for some thirty years. The utilization of CuI cation, aromatic donor …
