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 …

In this review, we provide a consistent description of noncovalent interactions, covering most
groups of the Periodic Table. Different types of bonds are discussed using their trivial …

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 …

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 …

The tetrel bond (TB) recruits an element drawn from the C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb family as electron
acceptor in an interaction with a partner Lewis base. The underlying principles that explain …

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 …

Noncovalent interactions are of utmost importance. However, their accurate treatment is still
difficult. This is partially induced by the coexistence of many types of interactions and …

Structure–property relationships are the key to modern crystal engineering, and for
molecular crystals this requires both a thorough understanding of intermolecular …

Abstract The regio‐, site‐, stereo‐or chemoselective homogeneous catalytic transformations
are extremely important for the growth/success of the current chemical industry. Based on …
