Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Aqueous Zn(II) Salphen metallofibers decorated with PNIPAM undergo reversible, multi‐stimuli‐responsive hierarchical bundling. This higher‐order structuring kinetically stabilizes the otherwise fragile assemblies against dilution, acidic hydrolysis, and transmetallation, enables selective sorting of responsive fibers, and programs hydrogelation at ...

the role of noncovalent interactions
Noncovalent interactions are essential for several biological processes, such as solvation and drug absorption. In this context, halogen bonds (XBs) are often overlooked despite their relevance in biological systems.

Antiparallel Noncovalent Interactions
, 2023 In spite of being quite different substances, benzene and water can form similar noncovalent interactions. Analysis of the data in the crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) revealed similarities in benzene/benzene and water/water interactions, since both benzene/benzene and water/water can form antiparallel interactions.

Close contacts and noncovalent interactions in crystals
Faraday Discussions, 2017 Close contacts, defined as interatomic separations less than the sum of the respective van der Waals radii, are commonly invoked to identify attractive nonbonded interactions in crystal lattices. While this is often effective, it can also be misleading because (a) there are significant uncertainties associated with van der Waals radii, and (b) it may ...
