Abstract
In this paper, we have reviewed several equations for calculating the cooperative energy of two chemical bonds between three fragments/species, regardless of whether they are atoms, ions or molecules, and whether the bonds between them are intra- or intermolecular. It is emphasized that two chemical bonds upon cooperation in a new compound change the bond dissociation energy of each other exactly by the same quantitative value, their cooperative energy, regardless of the nature of the bonds or whether one bond is very weak and another one is very strong. However, the final benefit/drawback of weak bonds from this cooperation can be considerably larger than that of strong bonds. The above statements are supported by a computational study on the various types of inter- and intramolecular chemical bonds.

Abstract
The five-membered heteroaromatic thiazole molecule contains a number of electron-rich regions that could attract an electrophile, namely the N and S lone pairs that lie in the molecular plane, and π-system areas above the plane. The possibility of each of these sites engaging in a tetrel bond (TB) with CF4 and SiF4, as well as geometries that encompass a CH⋯F H-bond, was explored via DFT calculations. There are a number of minima that occur in the pairing of thiazole with CF4 that are very close in energy, but these complexes are weakly bound by less than 2 kcal mol-1 and the presence of a true TB is questionable. The inclusion of zero-point vibrational energies alters the energetic ordering, which is further modified when entropic effects are added. The preferred geometry would thus be sensitive to the temperature of an experiment. Replacement of CF4 by SiF4 leaves intact most of the configurations, and their tight energetic clustering, the ordering of which is again altered as the temperature rises. But there is one exception in that by far the most tightly bound complex involves a strong Si⋯N TB between SiF4 and the lone pair of the thiazole N, with an interaction energy of 30 kcal mol-1. Even accounting for its high deformation energy and entropic considerations, this structure remains as clearly the most stable at any temperature.

Abstract
DFT calculations evaluate the strength of σ-hole bonds formed by ZH3 and ZMe3 (Z = N, P, As, Sb) acting as electron donor. Bond types considered include H-bond, halogen, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bond to perfluorinated Lewis acids FH, FBr, F2Se F3As, F4Ge, respectively, as well as their monofluorinated analogues. All of the Z atoms can engage in bonds of at least moderate strength, varying from 3 to more than 40 kcal mol-1. In most cases, N forms the strongest bonds, but the falloff from P to Sb is quite mild. However, this pattern is not characteristic of all cases, as for example in the halogen bonds, where the heavier Z atoms are comparable to, or even stronger than N. Most of the bonds are strengthened by replacing the three H atoms of ZH3 by methyl groups, better simulating the situation that would be generally encountered. Structural and NMR shielding data ought to facilitate the identification of these bonds within crystals or in solution.

Abstract
While a good deal of information has accumulated concerning the manner in which an intramolecular noncovalent bond can affect the relative energies of various conformers, less is known about how such bonds might affect the dynamics of interconversion between them. A series of molecules are constructed in which symmetrically equivalent conformers containing a noncovalent bond can be interconverted by a bond rotation, the energy barrier to which is computed by quantum chemical methods. The rotation of a CF3 group attached to a phenyl ring is speeded up if a Se··F chalcogen bond can be formed with a SeH or SeF group placed in an ortho position, a bond that is present in and stabilizes the rotational transition state. The analogous SnF3 group can, on the other hand, engage in a Sn··Se tetrel bond in its global minimum. The energetic cost of breakage of this bond is not fully compensated by the appearance of a Se··F chalcogen bond in the rotational transition state. Other systems were designed by placing two phenyl rings on opposite ends of an octahedrally disposed SeF4 group. A high barrier inhibits their rotation with bulky Br atoms in ortho positions, but this barrier is lowered if Br is replaced by groups that can engage in either chalcogen (SeH or SeF) or pnicogen (AsH2) bonds with the F atoms in the rotational transition state. The barrier reduction is closely related to the strength of these noncovalent bonds.

Abstract
Bonding within the AsF3 crystal is analyzed via quantum chemical methods so as to identify and quantify the pnicogen bonds that are present. The structure of a finite crystal segment containing nine molecules is compared with that of a fully optimized cluster of the same size. The geometries are qualitatively different, with a much larger binding energy within the optimized nonamer. Although the total interaction energy of a central unit with the remaining peripheral molecules is comparable for the two structures, the binding of the peripherals with one another is far larger in the optimized cluster. This distinction of much stronger total binding within the optimized cluster is not limited to the nonamer but repeats itself for smaller aggregates as well. The average binding energy of the cluster rises quickly with size, asymptotically approaching a value nearly triple that of the dimer.

Abstract
σ-Hole and lone-pair (lp)-hole interactions within σ-hole···σ-hole, σ-hole···lp-hole, and lp-hole···lp-hole configurations were comparatively investigated on the pnicogen···pnicogen homodimers (PCl3)2, for the first time, under field-free conditions and the influence of the external electric field (EEF). The electrostatic potential calculations emphasized the impressive versatility of the examined PCl3 monomers to participate in σ-hole and lp-hole pnicogen interactions. Crucially, the sizes of σ-hole and lp-hole were enlarged under the influence of the positively directed EEF and decreased in the case of reverse direction. Interestingly, the energetic quantities unveiled more favorability of the σ-hole···lp-hole configuration of the pnicogen···pnicogen homodimers, with significant negative interaction energies, than σ-hole···σ-hole and lp-hole···lp-hole configurations. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules and noncovalent interaction index analyses were adopted to elucidate the nature and origin of the considered interactions, ensuring their closed shell nature and the occurrence of attractive forces within the studied homodimers. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory-based energy decomposition analysis alluded to the dispersion force as the main physical component beyond the occurrence of the examined interactions. The obtained findings would be considered as a fundamental underpinning for forthcoming studies pertinent to chemistry, materials science, and crystal engineering.

Abstract
Whereas pnicogen atoms like P and As have been shown repeatedly to act as electron acceptors in pnicogen bonds, the same is not true of the more electronegative first-row N atom. Quantum calculations assess whether N can serve in this capacity in such bonds and under what conditions. There is a positive π-hole belt that surrounds the central N atom in the linear arrangement of NNNF, NNN-CN, and NNO, which can engage a NH3 base to form a pnicogen bond with binding energy between 3 and 5 kcal/mol. Within the context of a planar arrangement, the π-hole above the N in NO2OF, N(CN)3, and CF3NO2 is also capable of forming a pnicogen bond, the strongest of which amounts to 11 kcal/mol with NMe3 as base. In their pyramidal geometry, NF3 and N(NO2)3 engage with a base through the σ-hole on the central N, with variable binding energies between 2 and 9 kcal/mol. AIM and NBO provide somewhat different interpretations of the secondary interactions that occur in some of these complexes.

Abstract
MCO3 (M=Zn, Cd, Hg) forms a spodium bond with nitrogen-containing bases (HCN, NHCH2 , NH3 ) and a pnicogen bond with FH2 Z (Z=P, As, Sb). The spodium bond is very strong with the interaction energy ranging from -31 kcal/mol to -56 kcal/mol. Both NHCH2 and NH3 have an equal electrostatic potential on the N atom, but the corresponding interaction energy is differentiated by 1.5-4 kcal/mol due to the existence of spodium and hydrogen bonds in the complex with NHCH2 as the electron donor. The spodium bond is weakest in the HCN complex, which is not consistent with the change of the binding distance. The spodium bond becomes stronger in the CdCO3 <ZnCO3 <HgCO3 sequence although the positive electrostatic potential on the Hg atom is smallest. This is because the electrostatic interaction is dominant in the spodium-bonded complexes of CdCO3 and ZnCO3 but the polarization interaction in that of HgCO3 . The pnicogen bond is much weaker than the spodium bond and the former has a larger enhancement than the latter in the FH2 Z⋅⋅⋅OCO2 M⋅⋅⋅N-base ternary complexes.

Abstract
The versatility of the X-T-X3 compounds (where T = C, Si, and Ge, and X = F, Cl, and Br) to participate in tetrel- and halogen-bonding interactions was settled out, at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory, within a series of configurations for (X-T-X3)2 homodimers. The electrostatic potential computations ensured the remarkable ability of the investigated X-T-X3 monomers to participate in σ-hole halogen and tetrel interactions. The energetic findings significantly unveil the favorability of the tetrel···tetrel directional configuration with considerable negative binding energies over tetrel···halogen, type III halogen···halogen, and type II halogen···halogen analogs. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules and noncovalent interaction analyses were accomplished to disclose the nature of the tetrel- and halogen-bonding interactions within designed configurations, giving good correlations between the total electron densities and binding energies. Further insight into the binding energy physical meanings was invoked through using symmetry-adapted perturbation theory-based energy decomposition analysis, featuring the dispersion term as the most prominent force beyond the examined interactions. The theoretical results were supported by versatile crystal structures which were characterized by the same type of interactions. Presumably, the obtained findings would be considered as a solid underpinning for future supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and crystal engineering studies, as well as a fundamental linchpin for a better understanding of the biological activities of chemicals.

Abstract
A theoretical calculation has been performed for the ternary complexes XCl∙∙∙FH∙∙∙F- (X = CCH, CN, OH, NC, and F) and the corresponding binary complexes. The halogen bond in the dyad is very weak with the interaction energy less than 2.5 kcal/mol. Interestingly, the halogen bond gets a big enhancement when it combines with a very strong hydrogen bond in FH∙∙∙F-, and the largest interaction energy is up to ∼25.6 kcal/mol in FCl∙∙∙FH∙∙∙F-. The enhancement of halogen bond not only results in a larger elongation of X-Cl bond and a bigger redshift of the bond stretch vibration but also makes the blue-shifting halogen bond in NCCl∙∙∙FH be a red-shifting one in NCCl∙∙∙FH∙∙∙F-. The halogen bond belongs to a purely close-shell interaction in the dyad, while it becomes a partially covalent interaction in XCl∙∙∙FH∙∙∙F- (X = OH, NC, and F) with negative energy density. In FH∙∙∙F-, the proton is shared between the two F atoms, however, this proton transfers towards the F- end in XCl∙∙∙FH∙∙∙F-.

Differential Binding of Tetrel-Bonding Bipodal Receptors to Monatomic and Polyatomic Anions. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24020227.

Abstract
Previous work has demonstrated that a bidentate receptor containing a pair of Sn atoms can engage in very strong interactions with halide ions via tetrel bonds. The question that is addressed here concerns the possibility that a receptor of this type might be designed that would preferentially bind a polyatomic over a monatomic anion since the former might better span the distance between the two Sn atoms. The binding of Cl− was thus compared to that of HCOO−, HSO4−, and H2PO4− with a wide variety of bidentate receptors. A pair of SnFH2 groups, as strong tetrel-binding agents, were first added to a phenyl ring in ortho, meta, and para arrangements. These same groups were also added in 1,3 and 1,4 positions of an aliphatic cyclohexyl ring. The tetrel-bonding groups were placed at the termini of (-C≡C-)n (n = 1,2) extending arms so as to further separate the two Sn atoms. Finally, the Sn atoms were incorporated directly into an eight-membered ring, rather than as appendages. The ordering of the binding energetics follows the HCO2− > Cl− > H2PO4− > HSO4− general pattern, with some variations in selected systems. The tetrel bonding is strong enough that in most cases, it engenders internal deformations within the receptors that allow them to engage in bidentate bonding, even for the monatomic chloride, which mutes any effects of a long Sn···Sn distance within the receptor.

Abstract
Recently, noncovalent interactions in complexes and crystals have attracted considerable interest. The current study was thus designed to gain a better understanding of three seminal types of noncovalent interactions, namely: hydrogen, halogen and tetrel interactions with π-systems. This study was performed on three models of Lewis acids: X3–C–H, F3–C–X and F–T–F3 (where X = F, Cl, Br and I; and T = C, Si, Ge and Sn) and three π-systems as Lewis bases: benzene (BZN), 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene (TFB) and hexafluorobenzene (HFB). Quantum mechanical calculations, including geometrical optimization, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), maximum positive electrostatic potential (Vs,max), Point-of-Charge (PoC), potential energy surface (PES), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interaction (NCI) calculations, were carried out at the MP2/aug cc-pVDZ level of theory. The binding energies were additionally benchmarked at the CCSD(T)/CBS level. The results showed that: (i) the binding energies of the X3–C–H⋯π-system complexes were unexpectedly inversely correlated with the Vs,max values on the hydrogen atom but directly correlated with the X atomic sizes; (ii) the binding energies for the F3–C–X⋯π-system and F–T–F3⋯π-system complexes were correlated with the σ-hole magnitudes of the X and T atoms, respectively; and (iii) for the F3–C–F⋯π-system complexes, the binding energy was as strong as the π-system was electron-deficient, indicating the dominating nucleophilic character of the fluorine atom. NCI analysis showed that the unexpected trend of X3–C–H⋯π-system binding energies could be attributed to additional attractive interactions between the X atoms in the X3–C–H molecule and the carbon atoms of the π-system. Furthermore, the I3–Sn–H molecule was employed as a case study of hydrogen, halogen and tetrel interactions with π-systems. It was found that hydrogen and halogen interactions of the I3–Sn–H molecule correlated with the electron-richness of the π-system. In contrast, tetrel interactions correlated with the electron deficiency of the π-system. Three seminal types of noncovalent interaction, namely: hydrogen, halogen and tetrel interactions with π-systems, were investigated using quantum mechanical calculations.![]()

Abstract
The complexes formed between TX3-ZX2 (T = C, Si, Ge; Z = P, As, Sb; X = F, Cl) and NH3 were studied at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(PP) level. For each TX3-ZX2, two types of complex were obtained. For CX3-ZX2, NH3 is inclined to approach the σ-hole on the Z atom, forming a pnicogen bond. For TX3-ZX2 (T = Si and Ge), however, the base favors engaging in a tetrel bond with the σ-hole on the T atom although the corresponding pnicogen-bonded complex is also stable. When NH3 approaches the CX3 terminal of CX3-ZX2, weak interactions are observed that may be classified as van der Waals interactions. The relative stability of both types of complexes is not affected by the substituent X. The tetrel bond is very strong and the largest interaction energy is up to -144 kJ mol-1. Dispersion is dominant in the weak van der Waals complexes, while tetrel- and pnicogen-bonded complexes are dominated by electrostatic interactions, with comparable contributions from polarization.

Abstract
The point-of-charge (PoC) approach was employed to investigate the characteristics of the tetrel bond from an electrostatic perspective. W-T-XYZ···B nomenclature was suggested where T is a tetrel atom, W is the atom along the σ-hole extension, B is a Lewis base, and X, Y, and Z are three atoms on the same side of the σ-hole. Quantum-mechanical calculations were carried out on F-T-F3 systems (where T = C, Si, Ge, or Sn) at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory, with PP functions for Ge and Sn atoms. The tetrel bond strength was estimated via the molecular stabilization energy. Tetrel bond strength was found to increase with increasing PoC negativity (i.e., Lewis basicity) and the electronegativity of the W atom. Moreover, the effects of the T···PoC distance, the W-T···PoC angle, and the aqueous medium on the tetrel bond strength were also investigated. Correlations between tetrel bond strength and several atomic and molecular descriptors such as the natural charge on the tetrel atom, EHOMO, and the p-orbital contribution to W-T bond hybridization were observed. Contrary to expectations, the tetrel bond strength in F-C-X3 increased as the electronegativity of X decreased. The σ-node criteria for the studied molecules were also introduced and discussed. The ability of these molecules to simultaneously form more than one tetrel bond was examined via the σn-hole test. In conclusion, the tetrel bond strength was found to be governed by the strengths of (i) the attractive electrostatic interaction of the Lewis base with the σ-hole, (ii) the attractive/repulsive interaction between the Lewis base and the X, Y, and Z atoms, and (iii) the van der Waals interaction between the Lewis base and the X, Y, and Z atoms.

Abstract
The complexes between BH(CO)2/BH(N2)2 and XF3/XF5 are stabilized by a halogen bond and a triel bond. The MEP analyses of BH(CO)2/BH(N2)2 indicate that there are both a region with negative MEPs on the B atom in the vertical direction of the molecular plane and a σ-hole at the B-H bond end. Therefore, the boron atom in BH(CO)2/BH(N2)2 plays a dual role of a Lewis base and an acid in the halogen bond and triel bond, respectively. The halogen and triel bonds are stronger in order of IF3< BrF3< ClF3, IF5< BrF5< ClF5, and BH(CO)2< BH(N2)2 in most complexes. These complexes have large stability since the interaction energy varies from -5 to -115 kcal/mol. The halogen bond belongs to a covalent interaction or a partially covalent interaction in most complexes. The subsystems in these complexes have prominent deformation, accompanied with big charge transfer and large polarization.

Abstract
A computational study was undertaken for the model complexes H2 X…YF and (CH3 )2 X…YF (X=O, S, Se; Y=F, Cl, H), and H3 X'…YF and (CH3 )3 X'…YF (X'=N, P, As), at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. For H2 X…YF and H3 X'…YF, noncovalent interactions dominate the binding in order of increasing YF dipole moment, except for H3 As…F2 , and possibly H3 As…ClF. However, for the methyl-substituted complexes (CH3 )2 X…YF and (CH3 )3 X'…YF the binding is especially strong for the complexes containing F2 , implying significant chemical bonding between the interacting molecules. The relative stability of these complexes can be rationalized by the difference in the electronegativity of the X or X' and Y atoms.

Abstract
Tetrel atoms T (T = Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) can engage in very strong noncovalent interactions with nucleophiles, which are commonly referred to as tetrel bonds. The ability of such bonds to bind various anions is assessed with a goal of designing an optimal receptor. The Sn atom seems to form the strongest bonds within the tetrel family. It is most effective in the context of a -SnF₃ group and a further enhancement is observed when a positive charge is placed on the receptor. Connection of the -SnF₃ group to either an imidazolium or triazolium provides a strong halide receptor, which can be improved if its point of attachment is changed from the C to an N atom of either ring. Aromaticity of the ring offers no advantage nor is a cyclic system superior to a simple alkyl amine of any chain length. Placing a pair of -SnF₃ groups on a single molecule to form a bipodal dicationic receptor with two tetrel bonds enhances the binding, but falls short of a simple doubling. These two tetrel groups can be placed on opposite ends of an alkyl diamine chain of any length although SnF₃⁺NH₂(CH₂)nNH₂SnF₃⁺ with n between 2 and 4 seems to offer the strongest halide binding. Of the various anions tested, OH− binds most strongly: OH− > F− > Cl− > Br− > I−. The binding energy of the larger NO₃− and HCO₃− anions is more dependent upon the charge of the receptor. This pattern translates into very strong selectivity of binding one anion over another. The tetrel-bonding receptors bind far more strongly to each anion than an equivalent number of K⁺ counterions, which leads to equilibrium ratios in favor of the former of many orders of magnitude.

Abstract
MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations have been performed on π-hole triel- and chalcogen-bonded complexes involving a heteroaromatic compound. These complexes are very stable with large interaction energy up to −47 kcal mol−1. The sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom engages in a stronger π-hole bond than the sp-hybridized species although the former has smaller negative electrostatic potential. The sp2-hybridized oxygen atom in 1,4-benzoquinone is a weaker electron donor in the π-hole bond than the sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom. The π-hole triel bond is stronger than the π-hole chalcogen bond. A clear structural deformation is found for the triel or chalcogen donor molecule in these π-hole-bonded complexes. The triel bond exhibits partially covalent interaction, whereas the chalcogen bond exhibits covalent interaction in the SO3 complexes of pyrazine and pyridine derivatives with a sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom. Intermolecular charge transfer (>0.2e) occurs to a considerable extent in these complexes. In ternary complexes involving an aromatic compound, wherein a triel bond and a chalcogen bond coexist, both the interactions are weakened or strengthened when the central aromatic molecule acts as a double Lewis base or plays a dual role of both a base and an acid. Both electrostatic and charge transfer effects have important contributions toward changes in the strength of both interactions. MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations have been performed on π-hole triel- and chalcogen-bonded complexes involving a heteroaromatic compound. Both interactions exhibit cooperative/diminutive effect, depending on the role of the central heteroaromatic compound.![]()

Abstract
An ab initio study of the cooperativity in XH2P⋯NCH⋯Z and XH2P⋯CNH⋯Z complexes (X=F, Cl, Br, CN, NC; Z=C2H2,C6H6) connected by pnicogen-bonding and H⋯π interactions is carried out by means of MP2 computational method. A detailed analysis of the structures, interaction energies and bonding properties is performed on these systems. For each set of the complexes considered, a favorable cooperativity is observed, especially in X=F and CN complexes. However, for a given X or Z, the amount of cooperativity effects in XH2P⋯CNH⋯Z complexes are more important than XH2P⋯NCH⋯Z counterparts. Besides, the influence of a H⋯π interaction on a P⋯N (C) bond is more pronounced than that of a P⋯N (C) bond on a H⋯π bond. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules shows that ternary complexes have increased electron densities at their bond critical points relative to the corresponding binary systems. The results also indicate that the strength of the P⋯N(C) and H⋯π interactions increases in the presence of the solvent.

Abstract
A series of halide receptors are constructed and the geometries and energetics of their binding to F−, Cl−, and Br−assessed by quantum calculations. The dicationic receptors are based on a pair of imidazolium units, connectedviaa benzene spacer. The imidazoliums each donate a proton to a halide in a pair of H-bonds. Replacement of the two bonding protons by Br leads to bindingviaa pair of halogen bonds. Likewise, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bonds occur when the protons are replaced, respectively, by Se, As, and Ge. Regardless of the binding group considered, F−is bound much more strongly than are Cl−and Br−. With respect to the latter two halides, the binding energy is not very sensitive to the nature of the binding atom, whether H or some other atom. But there is a great deal of differentiation with respect to F−, where the order varies as tetrel > H ∼ pnicogen > halogen > chalcogen. The replacement of the various binding atoms by their analogues in the next row of the periodic table enhances the fluoride binding energy by 22–56%. The strongest fluoride binding agents utilize the tetrel bonds of the Sn atom, whereas it is I-halogen bonds that are preferred for Cl−and Br−. After incorporation of thermal and entropic effects, the halogen, chalcogen, and pnicogen bonding receptors do not represent much of an improvement over H-bonds with regard to this selectivity for F−, even I which binds quite strongly. In stark contrast, the tetrel-bonding derivatives, both Ge and Sn, show by far the greatest selectivity for F−over the other halides, as much as 1013, an enhancement of six orders of magnitude when compared to the H-bonding receptor.

Abstract
In this work, a new equation consist of A⋅⋅⋅B, B⋅⋅⋅C, A⋅⋅⋅BC, and AB⋅⋅⋅C interactions is proposed for calculating the total interaction energy of noncyclic ABC triads. New equations are also proposed for calculating the changes in values of A⋅⋅⋅B and B⋅⋅⋅C interactions on the formation of triad from the corresponding dyads. The advantages of equations proposed here in comparison with many-body interaction energy approach are discussed. All proposed equations were tested in F3 MLi⋅⋅⋅NCH⋅⋅⋅HLH and F3 MLi⋅⋅⋅HLH⋅⋅⋅HCN (M = C, Si; L = Be, Mg) as well as H3 N⋅⋅⋅XY⋅⋅⋅HF (X, Y = F, Cl, Br) noncyclic A⋅⋅⋅B⋅⋅⋅C triads. The data show that the total cooperativity of triad correlates well with the sum of the changes in values of A⋅⋅⋅B and B⋅⋅⋅C interactions calculated through new equations proposed here. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
