Intermolecular Covalent Interactions: Nature and Directionality
Chemistry – A European Journal, 2023 AbstractQuantum 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 FmZ⋅⋅⋅F− complexes (Z=Pn, Ch, X), using relativistic density functional theory (DFT) at ZORA‐M06/QZ4P.

Non-covalent ligand-oxide interaction promotes oxygen evolution
Nature Communications, 2023 If and how non-bonding ligands mediate the electronic states of metal sites is interesting yet remains to be explored. Here the authors show that a non-covalent phenanthroline can promote the population of Co4+ and induce polaron-like Co sites for ...

Tetrel Interactions from an Interacting Quantum Atoms Perspective
Molecules, 2019 Tetrel bonds, the purportedly non-covalent interaction between a molecule that contains an atom of group 14 and an anion or (more generally) an atom or molecule with lone electron pairs, are under intense scrutiny. In this work, we perform an interacting

Hydrogen-bonding and π-π interaction promoted solution-processable covalent organic frameworks
Nature Communications, 2023 Covalent organic frameworks show great potential in gas adsorption/separation, biomedicine, device, sensing, and printing arenas. However, covalent organic frameworks are generally not dispersible in common solvents resulting in the poor processability ...

Investigation of atomic level patterns in protein--small ligand interactions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Shape complementarity and non-covalent interactions are believed to drive protein-ligand interaction. To date protein-protein, protein-DNA, and protein-RNA interactions were systematically investigated, which is in contrast to interactions ...

Multi-site H-bridge breathers in a DNA--shaped double strand [PDF]
, 2003 We investigate the formation process of nonlinear vibrational modes representing broad H-bridge multi--site breathers in a DNA--shaped double strand. Within a network model of the double helix we take individual motions of the bases within the base ...
