Tetrel Bonding in Anion Recognition: A First-Principles Investigation
Pradeep R. Varadwaj
Twenty-five molecule-anion complex systems [I4Tt...X-] (Tt = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb; X = F, Cl, Br, I, At) were examined using density functional theory (wB97XD) and ab initio (MP2 a…
Very strong chalcogen bonding: Is oxygen in molecules capable of forming it? A First Principles Perspective
Pradeep Varadwaj, Arpita Varadwaj, Helder Marques
There are views prevalent in the noncovalent chemistry literature that i) the O atom in molecules cannot form a chalcogen bond, and ii) if formed, this bond is very weak. We have s…
Definition of the Pnictogen Bond: A Perspective
Arpita Varadwaj, Pradeep R. Varadwaj, Helder M. Marques +1
This article proposes a definition for the term pnictogen bond and lists its donors, acceptors, and characteristic features. These may be invoked to identify this specific subset o…
Definition of the Tetrel Bond
Pradeep R. Varadwaj, Arpita Varadwaj, Helder M. Marques +1
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 characteri…
The Pnictogen Bond Formation Ability of Bonded Bismuth Atoms in Molecular Entities in the Crystalline Phase: A Perspective
Pradeep R. Varadwaj, Arpita Varadwaj, Helder M. Marques +1
A bismuth bond, a type of pnictogen bonding interaction, occurs in chemical systems when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between the electrophilic region of a cov…
