In addition to the underlying basic concepts and early recognition of halogen bonding, this
paper reviews the conflicting views that consistently appear in the area of noncovalent …

The phosphorus bond in chemical systems, which is an inter-or intramolecular noncovalent
interaction, occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an …

This paper proposes a definition of the term “tetrel bond” based on the evidence
documented in the current literature. It lists the donors, acceptors, as well as related …

This Article revisits the “Definition of the Halogen Bond (IUPAC Recommendations
2013)”[Desiraju, GR Pure Appl. Chem. 2013, 85 (8), 1711–1713], recommendations that fail …

Perfluorocompound (PFC) gases play vital roles in microelectronics processing.
Requirements for ultra-high purities traditionally necessitate use of virgin sources and …

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 …

The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole
interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their …

Can two sites of positive electrostatic potential localized on the outer surfaces of two
halogen atoms (and especially fluorine) in different molecular domains attract each other to …

The nitrogen bond in chemical systems occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive
interaction between the electrophilic region associated with a covalently or coordinately …

In chemical systems, the arsenic-centered pnictogen bond, or simply the arsenic bond,
occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between the electrophilic region …
