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

In the last few decades,“unusual” noncovalent interactions like anion‐π and halogen
bonding have emerged as interesting alternatives to the ubiquitous hydrogen bonding in …

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 …

Favorable molecular interactions between group 16 elements have been implicated in
catalysis, biological processes, and materials and medicinal chemistry. Such interactions …

In the field of noncovalent interactions a new paradigm has recently become popular. It
stems from the analysis of molecular electrostatic potentials and introduces a label, which …

Sigma (σ)-holes are electron-deficient regions that arise from the anisotropic distribution of
electron density on the atom of group 14 (tetrels), 15 (pnictogens), 16 (chalcogens), and 17 …

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 …

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 …

This review describes how non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen (inter-and
intramolecular, resonance-and charge-assisted hydrogen bonding), halogen, chalcogen …

The pnictogen bond (PnB) is a noncovalent attraction between electrophilic pnictogen
atoms, originated from the anisotropic distribution of electron density on Pn in a molecular …
