Collective Interactions in Ion Pairs
This study demonstrates, by means of the analysis of the electron density topology, that collective interactions stabilize ion pairs through the simultaneous engagement of multiple atoms, rather than simple pairwise electrostatics. ABSTRACT Collective interactions represent a recently proposed bonding mode in which stabilization arises not from a ...

The Myth of “Anti‐Electrostatic” Bonds
It is shown that the “anti‐electrostatic” halogen bond between two anions can be explained on the basis of a simple monopole‐plus‐dipole model. Previous criticism of the electrostatic concept is unjustified and ignores the common use of alternative bonding models in chemistry. ABSTRACT Some specific halogen‐ or hydrogen‐bonded complexes between ions of

Chirality reversal with the carrier-envelope phase: A next generation QTAIM interpretation [PDF]
Simulated circularly-polarized 10 fs laser pulses that induce a mixture of excited states are applied to ethane. Additionally, the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) angle ϕ, that quantifies the relationship between the time-varying direction of electric (E ...
