New developments in the field of Lewis acidity are highlighted, with the focus of novel Lewis
acids and Lewis superacids of group 2, 13, 14, and 15 elements. Several important basics …

The insertion of fluorine atoms and/or fluoroalkyl groups can lead to many beneficial effects
in biologically active molecules, such as enhanced metabolic stability, bioavailability …

Benzene dimer has long been an archetype for π-stacking. According to the Hunter–
Sanders model, quadrupolar electrostatics favors an edge-to-face CH⋯ π geometry but …

Extended conjugated polyynes provide models for the elusive sp carbon polymer carbyne,
but progress has been hampered by numerous synthetic challenges. Stabilities appear to be …

Stacking interactions are a recurring motif in supramolecular chemistry and biochemistry,
where a persistent theme is a preference for parallel-displaced aromatic rings rather than …

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the impact of monochlorine substitution
on the solid-state phases of the classic binary adduct C6H6: C6F6. Crystal structures for all …

A series of the cadmium and zinc carboxylate complexes with anions of pentafluorobenzoic
(HРfbz) and 2, 3, 4, 5-tetrafluorobenzoic (HТfbz) acids and N-donor ligands (1, 10 …

Mixing the liquids hexafluorobenzene (1) and 1, 3, 5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene, 2)
results in a crystalline solid with a melting point of 34° C. The solid consists of alternating π …

The nature and strength of weak interactions with organic fluorine in the solid state are
revealed by periodic density functional theory (periodic DFT) calculations coupled with …

The title radical R⋅, synthesized by reduction of the corresponding cation R+, is thermally
stable up to~ 380 K in the crystalline state under anaerobic conditions. With SQUID …
