Abstract
Alkali metals are generally Lewis acids. On the contrary, Lewis basic character of alkali metals forming donor - acceptor complexes is a very rare phenomenon. In this contribution, I have theoretically designed an anionic cluster MMN3 - (M=alkali metals) on the basis of experimentally known reagent, alkali salt of azide ion MN3 , which shows unprecedented M:- →M donor-acceptor interaction. To the best of author's knowledge, the characterization of such donor-acceptor interaction among alkali metals is unprecedented. Formation of the 2c-2e donor-acceptor bonds have been confirmed by quantum theory of atoms in molecules and electron localization function analyses. The calculated bond dissociation energies are significant suggesting their possible spectroscopic identification.

Abstract
The ability of B atoms on two different molecules to engage with one another in a noncovalent diboron bond is studied by ab initio calculations. Due to electron donation from its substituents, the trivalent B atom of BYZ2 (Z=CO, N2 , and CNH; Y=H and F) has the ability to in turn donate charge to the B of a BX3 molecule (X=H, F, and CH3 ), thus forming a B⋅⋅⋅B diboron bond. These bonds are of two different strengths and character. BH(CO)2 and BH(CNH)2 , and their fluorosubstituted analogues BF(CO)2 and BF(CNH)2 , engage in a typical noncovalent bond with B(CH3 )3 and BF3 , with interaction energies in the 3-8 kcal/mol range. Certain other combinations result in a much stronger diboron bond, in the 26-44 kcal/mol range, and with a high degree of covalent character. Bonds of this type occur when BH3 is added to BH(CO)2 , BH(CNH)2 , BH(N2 )2 , and BF(CO)2 , or in the complexes of BH(N2 )2 with B(CH3 )3 and BF3 . The weaker noncovalent bonds are held together by roughly equal electrostatic and dispersion components, complemented by smaller polarization energy, while polarization is primarily responsible for the stronger ones.

Abstract
Bonding in the recently synthesized NaBH3 - cluster is investigated using the high level Valence Bond BOVB method. Contrary to earlier conclusions, the Na-B bond is found to be neither a genuine dative bond, nor a standard polar-covalent bond at equilibrium. It is rather revealed as a split and polarized weakly coupled electron-pair, which allows this cluster to be more effectively stabilized by a combination of (major) dipole-dipole electrostatic interaction and (secondary) resonant one-electron bonding mechanism. Our analysis of this unprecedented bonding situation extends to similar clusters, and the VB model unifies and articulates the previously published variegated views on this exotic "bond".

Abstract
It is here reported that the NaBH3 - cluster exhibits a Na⋅B one-electron bond, a well-established type of electron-deficient bonding in the literature. The topological analysis of the electron localization function, at the correlated level, reveals that Na- , when approaching the bonding distance, fairly distributes its valence electron pair between two lobes. One of these electrons is used to bond with BH3 , which participates through its boron empty p-orbital. Furthermore, the bonding situation of LiBH3 - , KBH3 - , MgBH3 , and CaBH3 global minima structures are similar to that of NaBH3 - , extending the family of these new one-electron bond systems with biradicaloid character.

Abstract
Chemical bonds are traditionally assigned as electron-sharing or donor-acceptor/dative. External criteria such as the nature of the dissociation process, energy partitioning schemes, or quantum chemical topology are invoked to assess the bonding situation. However, for systems with marked multi-reference character, this binary categorization might not be precise enough to render the bonding properties. A third scenario can be foreseen: spin polarized bonds. To illustrate this, the case of a NaBH3 - cluster is presented. According to the analysis NaBH3 - exhibits a strong diradical character and cannot be classified as either electron-sharing or a dative bond. Elaborated upon are the common problems of popular bonding descriptions. Additionally, a simple model, based on the bond order and local spin indicators, which discriminates between all three bonding situations, is provided.

Abstract
A newly introduced Na-B bond in NaBH3 - has been a challenge for the chemical bonding community. Here, a series of MBH3 - (M=Li, Na, K) species and NaB(CN)3 - are studied within the context of quantum chemical topology approaches. The analyses suggest that M-B interaction cannot be classified as an ordinary covalent, dative, or even simple ionic interaction. The interactions are controlled by coulombic forces between the metals and the substituents on boron, for example, H or CN, more than the direct M-B interaction. On the other hand, while the characteristics of the (3, -1) critical points of the bonds are comparable to weak hydrogen bonds, not covalent bonds, the metal and boron share a substantial sum of electrons. To the best of the author's knowledge, the characteristics of these bonds are unprecedented among known molecules. Considering all paradoxical properties of these bonds, they are herein described as ionic-enforced covalent bonds.
