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 …

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 …

The term spodium (Sp) bond is proposed to refer to a net attractive interaction between any
element of Group 12 and electron‐rich atoms (Lewis bases or anions). These noncovalent …

In this communication experimental and theoretical results are reported affording strong
evidence that interactions between electron rich atoms and the metal of tetroxide anions of …

Elements from groups 14–18 and periods 3–6 commonly behave as Lewis acids, which are
involved in directional noncovalent interactions (NCI) with electron-rich species (lone pair …

In this review, several examples of the application of pnictogen (Pn)(group 15) and
chalcogen (Ch) bonding (group 16) interactions in organocatalytic processes are gathered …

The σ-hole and π-hole interactions allow for a systematic understanding of some features of
the attractive interactions involving elements of groups 13–18 of the periodic table and of …

In this study we propose to coin the term Wolfium bond (WfB) to refer to a net attractive force
(noncovalent interaction) between any element of group 6 and electron donor atoms (neutral …

Over the last years, scientific interest in noncovalent interactions based on the presence of
electron-depleted regions called σ-holes or π-holes has markedly accelerated. Their high …

The utilization of neutral receptors for the molecular recognition of anions based on
chalcogen bonding (ChB) is an undeveloped area of host‐guest chemistry. In this …
