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 …

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 …

Symmetry‐adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is a well‐established method to compute
accurate intermolecular interaction energies in terms of physical effects such as …

The terms tetrel bond, pnictogen bond and chalcogen bond were coined recently to describe
non-covalent interactions involving group 14, 15 and 16 atoms, respectively, acting as the …

Pnictogen-bonding catalysis based on σ-hole interactions has recently attracted the
attention of synthetic chemists. As a proof-of-concept for asymmetric pnictogen-bonding …

This article proposes a definition for the term “pnictogen bond” and lists its donors,
acceptors, and characteristic features. These may be invoked to identify this specific subset …

A set of 36 pnicogen homo-and heterodimers, R3E··· ER3 and R3E··· E′ R3′, involving
differently substituted group Va elements E= N, P, and As has been investigated at the …

Three new mixed valence trinuclear Co (II/III) compounds cis-[Co3L2 (MeOH) 2 (N3) 2 (μ1, 1-
N3) 2](1), trans-[Co3L2 (H2O) 2 (N3) 2 (μ1, 1-N3) 2]·(H2O) 2 (2) and [Co3LR2 (N3) 3 (μ1, 3 …

In addition to the standard halogen bond formed when NH3 approaches XCN (X= F, Cl, Br, I)
along its molecular axis, a perpendicular approach is also possible, toward a π-hole that is …

The solid-state complex [PTPH3](NO3) 3· 2 (HNO3)(1) has been synthesized and
characterized by X-ray studies, where PTPH3 is the triply protonated form of 4′-(4-pyridyl) …
