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 …

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 powerful independent gradient model (IGM) method has been increasingly popular in
visual analysis of intramolecular and intermolecular interactions in recent years. However …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have lately piqued scientific attention due to their potential applications in
green transition technologies such as catalysis, electrochemistry, and photovoltaic. The …

The covalent chemical bond is intimately linked to electron sharing between atoms. The
recent independent gradient model (IGM) and its δ g descriptor provide a way to quantify …

Benefiting from the unique photoluminescence behavior of the lanthanide (III) ions and
organic ligands, a lanthanide (III) metal–organic framework (Ln-MOF) material can …

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 …

A novel synergistic extractant consisting of a deep eutectic solvent (DES) and tri‐n‐butyl
phosphate (TBP) is proposed for selective extraction of valuable metals from waste lithium …

Severe water eutrophication due to large releases of phosphorus has become a worldwide
environmental problem. Adsorption active sites is less of traditional adsorbents in the …

We describe the development and features of a program called IGMPlot, which is based on
the independent gradient model (IGM) and its local descriptor δ g. The IGM approach …
