Sigma–hole interactions, in particular halogen bonding (XB) and chalcogen bonding (ChB),
have become indispensable tools in supramolecular chemistry, with wide-ranging …

Proteins and their assemblies are fundamental for living cells to function. Their complex
three-dimensional architecture and its stability are attributed to the combined effect of …

We report here on the status of research on halogen bonds and other σ-hole interactions
involving p-block elements in Lewis acidic roles, such as chalcogen bonds, pnictogen bonds …

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 …

Quantum chemical methods were employed to analyze the nature and the origin of the
directionality of pnictogen (PnB), chalcogen (ChB), and halogen bonds (XB) in archetypal …

The solid-state structures of co-crystals of chalcogenadiazoles (ChDAs) with planar half-
lantern PtII2 and mononuclear PtII complexes exhibit short Ch⋯ PtII (Ch= Se, Te) contacts …

We can describe current contingency of supramolecular chemistry as “post-halogen
bonding”, with clear reference to the success of the σ-hole model and the halogen bond …

Halogen bonding occurs between molecules featuring Lewis acidic halogen substituents
and Lewis bases. It is often rationalized as a predominantly electrostatic interaction and thus …

For the first time, sigma (σ)-and lone-pair (lp)-hole site-based interactions of SF4 and SeF4
molecules in seesaw geometry with NH3 and FH Lewis bases were herein comparatively …

The nomenclature exemplified in this paper's title has more terms than necessary. It
conceals the often-similar physical natures of the noncovalent interactions that it names, and …
