It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Transition metal catalysis is of utmost importance for the development of sustainable
processes in academia and industry. The activity and selectivity of metal complexes are …

The design and development of functional materials with real-life applications are highly
demanding. Understanding and controlling inter-and intra-molecular interactions provide …

Understanding the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the residues of proteins and
nucleic acids, and between drugs and proteins/nucleic acids, etc., has extraordinary …

Conspectus The distribution of the electron density around covalently bonded atoms is
anisotropic, and this determines the presence, on atoms surface, of areas of higher and …

Over the decades, the application of mechanical force to influence chemical reactions has
been called by various names: mechanochemistry, tribochemistry, mechanical alloying, to …

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 …

Conspectus The exploration of new catalysis concepts and strategies to drive chemical
reactions is of vital importance for the sustainable development of organic synthesis …

Compounds incorporating Group 14–17 elements as electron-deficient sites are capable of
attractive, directional interactions with Lewis bases. These noncovalent interactions are …

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 …
