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 …

London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

Following the development of photoluminescence systems with various compositions, some
nontraditional structures, including nonaromatic organic systems as fluorophores and …

Hydrogen bonds constitute a unique type of non-covalent interaction, with a critical role in
biology. Until fairly recently, the canonical view held that these bonds occur between …

The wide-ranging applications of the halogen bond (X-bond), notably in self-assembling
materials and medicinal chemistry, have placed this weak intermolecular interaction in a …

Currently, bonding analysis of molecules based on the Quantum Theory of Atoms in
Molecules (QTAIM) is popular; however,“misinterpretations” of the QTAIM analysis are also …

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of polysubstituted chiral cyclopropane presents a significant
challenge in organic synthesis due to the difficulty in enantioselective control. Here we …

Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) methods bridge the gap between electronic structure
calculations and conceptual interpretations of molecular interactions. The recently …

The involvement of planar carbocation intermediates is generally considered undesirable in
asymmetric catalysis due to the difficulty in gaining facial control and their intrinsic stability …

Abstract Die London'sche Dispersion, die den attraktiven Teil des Van‐der‐Waals‐
Potentials beschreibt, wurde lange als Element struktureller Stabilität in der molekularen …
