Hydrogen bonding has evolved from being a curious intermolecular interaction between a hydrogen atom and an electron-rich partner to being a powerful tool for crystal engineering of solid-state ...

Halogen Bond (XB) are an important type of non-covalent interaction characterized by high directionality, designability, and strong binding capacity. They exhibit broad application potential in ...

Halogen bonding (XB), the attractive interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom and a Lewis base, has undergone a dramatic development as an intermolecular force analogous to hydrogen ...

Chemists have spent decades developing and refining the tools for constructing bonds in complex organic molecules — especially carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds, which form the framework of such molecules.
