Abstract
Our study introduces the design of inverse sandwich (iSw) complexes incorporating a noble gas compound: xenon trioxide (XeO3). Through comprehensive computational analyses, we have investigated the critical factors influencing their stability by employing a variety of state-of-the-art computational tools. We demonstrated that the coordination number of xenon in the iSw complex of XeO3 with 18-crown-6 is influenced by the presence of a rare, weakly stabilizing Xe···Xe interaction between the XeO3 molecules. Furthermore, we observed that the stability of iSw complexes of 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene (TPB) and its derivatives is not solely attributed to aerogen bonding, but also involves contributions from C-H···O interactions and back-donation from the lone pair of Xe to the antibonding C-C orbitals of TPB. Additionally, the significant contributions from orbital interactions and dispersion interactions in the TPB derivatives highlight the multifaceted amphoteric properties of XeO3 and reveal that the iSw complexes of TPB and derivatives are not predominantly governed by electrostatic interactions, contrary to conventional belief.

Abstract
Various aza-crowns with different sizes and substituents have been explored computationally as potential hosts for stabilizing the explosive guest xenon trioxide (XeO3) through σ-hole-mediated aerogen bonding interactions. Interestingly, aza-crowns demonstrate superior binding towards XeO3 compared to their oxygen and thio counterparts. However, unlike the latter cases, where the binding was found to be increasingly favorable with the increase in the size of the crowns, aza-crowns exhibit a variable size preference for XeO3, peaking with aza-15-crown-5, and reducing thereafter with increase in crown size.

Abstract
In order to control the explosiveness and shock sensitivity of XeO3 , we have investigated its plausible interaction with various non-aromatic coordinating solvents, serving as potential Lewis base donors, through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Out of twenty six such solvents, the top ten were thus identified and then thoroughly examined by employing various computational tools such as the mapping of the electrostatic potential surface (MESP), Wiberg bond indices (WBIs), non-covalent interaction (NCI) plots, Bader's theory of atoms-in-molecules (AIM), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, and the energy decomposition analysis (EDA). The amphoteric nature of XeO3 was also explored by investigating the extent of back donation from the lone pair of Xe to the antibonding orbital of the donating atom/group of the solvent molecules. The C-H…O interactions were also found to be a contributing factor in the stabilization of these adducts. Although these aerogen-bonding interactions were found to be predominantly electrostatic, significant contributions from the orbital contributions, as well as dispersion interactions, were observed. The top three non-aromatic solvents (among the twenty six studied) which form the strongest adducts with XeO3 are proposed to be hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea (DMPU) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA).

Abstract
In pursuit of enhancing the stability of the highly explosive and shock-sensitive compound XeO3, we performed quantum chemical calculations to investigate its possible complexation with electron-rich crown ethers, including 9-crown-3, 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, and 21-crown-7, as well as their thio analogues. Furthermore, we expanded our study to other noble gas trioxides (NgO3), namely, KrO3 and ArO3. The basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrected interaction energies for these adducts range from -13.0 kcal/mol to -48.2 kcal/mol, which is notably high for σ-hole-mediated noncovalent interactions. The formation of these adducts was observed to be more favorable with the increase in the ring size of the crowns and less favorable while going from XeO3 to ArO3. A comprehensive analysis by various computational tools such as the mapping of the electrostatic potential (ESP), Wiberg bond indices (WBIs), Bader's theory of atoms-in-molecules (AIM), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, noncovalent interaction (NCI) plots, and energy decomposition analysis (EDA) revealed that the C-H···O interactions, as well as dispersion interactions, play a pivotal role in stabilizing adducts involving larger crowns. A noteworthy outcome of our study is the revelation of a coordination number of 9 for xenon in the complex formed between XeO3 and the thio analogue of 18-crown-6, which is higher than the largest number reported to date.

Abstract
σ-Hole and lone-pair (lp)-hole interactions of aerogen oxides with Lewis bases (LB) were comparatively inspected in terms of quantum mechanics calculations. The ZOn ⋯ LB complexes (where Z = Kr and Xe, n = 1, 2, 3 and 4, and LB = NH3 and NCH) showed favourable negative interaction energies. The complexation features were explained in light of σ-hole and lp-hole interactions within optimum distances lower than the sum of the respective van der Waals radii. The emerging findings outlined that σ-hole interaction energies generally enhanced according to the following order: KrO4 ⋯ < KrO⋯ < KrO3⋯ < KrO2⋯LB and XeO4⋯ < XeO⋯ < XeO2⋯ < XeO3⋯LB complexes with values ranging from -2.23 to -12.84 kcal mol-1. Lp-hole interactions with values up to -5.91 kcal mol-1 were shown. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory findings revealed the significant contributions of electrostatic forces accounting for 50-65% of the total attractive forces within most of the ZOn⋯LB complexes. The obtained observations would be useful for the understanding of hole interactions, particularly for the aerogen oxides, with application in supramolecular chemistry and crystal engineering.

Abstract
The geometric structure, energy properties, and electronic properties of the aerogen-bonding interaction formed by C2H4 and NgOX2 (Ng = Kr, Xe; X = F, Cl, Br) have been studied at the B2PLYP-D3(BJ)/ aug-cc-pVTZ (PP) level. Two kinds of aerogen-bonding interactions were observed among the title systems: the σ-hole and the π-hole complexes. The σ-hole aerogen-bonding complex has a binding energy in the range of - 6.29 ~ - 8.17 kcal/mol, which is the most stable. The binding energies of C2H4···NgOX2 increased as X = F < Cl < Br and Ng = KrOX2 < XeOX2 for the σ/π-hole aerogen-bonding complexes. The atoms in molecules (AIM), the non-covalent interaction (NCI) index, and the LMO-EDA energy decomposition analysis were adopted to study the nature of the σ/π-hole aerogen-bonding interaction. The results show that the electrostatic term contributes the most to the total interaction energy for the σ/π-hole aerogen-bonding complexes.

External Electric Field Effect on the Strength of σ-Hole Interactions: A Theoretical Perspective in Like⋯Like Carbon-Containing Complexes. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27092963.

Abstract
For the first time, σ-hole interactions within like⋯like carbon-containing complexes were investigated, in both the absence and presence of the external electric field (EEF). The effects of the directionality and strength of the utilized EEF were thoroughly unveiled in the (F-C-F3)2, (F-C-H3)2, and (H-C-F3)2 complexes. In the absence of the EEF, favorable interaction energies, with negative values, are denoted for the (F-C-F3)2 and (H-C-F3)2 complexes, whereas the (F-C-H3)2 complex exhibits unfavorable interactions. Remarkably, the strength of the applied EEF exhibits a prominent role in turning the repulsive forces within the latter complex into attractive ones. The symmetrical nature of the considered like⋯like carbon-containing complexes eradicated the effect of directionality of the EEF. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), and the noncovalent interaction (NCI) index, ensured the occurrence of the attractive forces, and also outlined the substantial contributions of the three coplanar atoms to the total strength of the studied complexes. Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) results show the dispersion-driven nature of the interactions.

Abstract
The interactions of complexes of XeOF2 and XeO3 with a series of different hybridization N-containing donors are studied by means of DFT and MP2 calculations. The aerogen bonding interaction energies range from 6.5 kcal/mol to 19.9 kcal/mol between XeO3 or XeOF2 and typical N-containing donors. The sequence of interaction for N-containing hybridization is sp3>sp2>sp, and XeO3 is higher than XeOF2. For some donors of sp2 and sp3 hybridization, the steric effect plays a minor role in the interaction with the evidence of reduced density gradient plots. The dominant stable part is the electrostatic interaction. In complex of XeO3, the weight of polarization is larger than dispersion, while the situation is opposite for XeOF2 complexes. Except for the sum of the maximum value of molecular electrostatic potential on Xe atom and minimum value of molecular electrostatic potential on N atom, the otherfive interaction parameters including the potential energy density at bond critical point, the equilibrium distances, interaction energies with the basis set superposition error correction, localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis interaction energies, and the electron charge density, show great linear correlation coefficients with each other.

Abstract
This paper accounts for a general procedure of bonding analysis that is, expectedly, adequate to describe any type of interaction involving the noble-gas (Ng) atoms. Building on our recently proposed classification of the Ng-X bonds (X = binding partner) [New J. Chem. 44, 15536 (2020)], these contacts are first distinguished into three types, namely, A, B, or C, based on the topology of the electron energy density H(r) and on the shape of its plotted form. Bonds of type B or C are, then, further assigned as B-loose (Bl) or B-tight (Bt) and C-loose (Cl) or C-tight (Ct) depending on the sign that H(r) takes along the Ng-X bond path located from the topological analysis of ρ(r), particularly at around the bond critical point (BCP). Any bond of type A, Bl/Bt, or Cl/Ct is, finally, assayed in terms of contribution of covalency. This is accomplished by studying the maximum, minimum, and average value of H(r) over the volume enclosed by the low-density reduced density gradient (RDG) isosurface associated with the bond (typically, the RDG isosurface including the BCP) and the average ρ(r) over the same volume. The bond assignment is also corroborated by calculating the values of quantitative indices specifically defined for the various types of interactions (A, B, or C). The generality of our taken approach should encourage its wide application to the study of Ng compounds.

Abstract
The pnicogen, chalcogen, and halogen bonds between 6-OXF2-fulvene (X = As, Sb, Se, Te, Br, and I) and three nitrogen-containing bases (FCN, HCN, and NH3) are compared. For each nitrogen base, the halogen bond is strongest, followed by the pnicogen bond, and the chalcogen bond is weakest. For each type of bond, the binding increases in the FCN < HCN < NH3 pattern. Both FCN and HCN engage in a bond with comparable strengths and the interaction energies of most bonds are < -6 kcal/mol. However, the strongest base NH3 forms a much more stable complex, particularly for the halogen bond with the interaction energy going up to -18 kcal/mol. For the same type of interaction, its strength increases as the mass of the central X atom increases. These bonds are different in strength, but all of them are dominated by the electrostatic interaction, with the polarization contribution important for the stronger interaction. The presence of these bonds changes the geometries of 6-OXF2-fulvene, particularly for the halogen bond formed by NH3, where the F-X-F arrangement is almost vertical to the fulvene ring.

Abstract
Albeit the first account of hypervalentπ interactions has been reported with halogenπ interactions, the feasibility of their extension to other hypervalent atoms as possible Lewis acids is still open. In this work, the role of phosphorus as an acceptor from the π electron cloud (Pπ pnicogen or phosphorus bonding) in PCl3-C2H2 and PCl3-C2H4 heterodimers is explored, by combining matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy with ab initio and DFT computational methodologies. The respective potential energy surfaces of the PCl3-C2H2 and PCl3-C2H4 heterodimers reveal unique minima stabilized by a concert of reasonably strong to weak interactions, of which Pπ phosphorus bonding was energetically dominant. Heterodimers, trimers and tetramers bound primarily by this unique phosphorus bond were generated at low temperatures. The dominance of phosphorus bonding in the PCl3-C2H2 and PCl3-C2H4 heterodimers over other interactions (such as Hπ, HCl, HP, Clπ and lone pair-π interactions) was confirmed and substantiated using extended quantum theory of atoms in molecules, natural bond orbital, electrostatic potential mapping and energy decomposition analyses. The following inferences in correlation with results from non-covalent-interaction analysis offer a complete understanding of the nature of the Pπ phosphorus bonding interactions. The significance of electrostatic forces kinetically favoring the formation of phosphorus bonded heterodimers, in addition to thermodynamic stabilization, is demonstrated experimentally.

Abstract
Noble gas (or aerogen) bond (NgB) can be outlined as the attractive interaction between an electron-rich atom or group of atoms and any element of Group-18 acting as an electron acceptor. The IUPAC already recommended systematic nomenclature for the interactions of groups 17 and 16 (halogen and chalcogen bonds, respectively). Investigations dealing with noncovalent interactions involving main group elements (acting as Lewis acids) have rapidly grown in recent years. They are becoming acting players in essential fields such as crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, and catalysis. For obvious reasons, the works devoted to the study of noncovalent Ng-bonding interactions are significantly less abundant than halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonding. Nevertheless, in this short review, relevant theoretical and experimental investigations on noncovalent interactions involving Xenon are emphasized. Several theoretical works have described the physical nature of NgB and their interplay with other noncovalent interactions, which are discussed herein. Moreover, exploring the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD), it is demonstrated that NgB interactions are crucial in governing the X-ray packing of xenon derivatives. Concretely, special attention is given to xenon fluorides and xenon oxides, since they exhibit a strong tendency to establish NgBs.

Local Vibrational Mode Analysis of π–Hole Interactions between Aryl Donors and Small Molecule Acceptors. CRYSTALS 2020.

Abstract
11 aryl–lone pair and three aryl–anion π –hole interactions are investigated, along with the argon–benzene dimer and water dimer as reference compounds, utilizing the local vibrational mode theory, originally introduced by Konkoli and Cremer, to quantify the strength of the π –hole interaction in terms of a new local vibrational mode stretching force constant between the two engaged monomers, which can be conveniently used to compare different π –hole systems. Several factors have emerged which influence strength of the π –hole interactions, including aryl substituent effects, the chemical nature of atoms composing the aryl rings/ π –hole acceptors, and secondary bonding interactions between donors/acceptors. Substituent effects indirectly affect the π –hole interaction strength, where electronegative aryl-substituents moderately increase π –hole interaction strength. N-aryl members significantly increase π –hole interaction strength, and anion acceptors bind more strongly with the π –hole compared to charge neutral acceptors (lone–pair donors). Secondary bonding interactions between the acceptor and the atoms in the aryl ring can increase π –hole interaction strength, while hydrogen bonding between the π –hole acceptor/donor can significantly increase or decrease strength of the π –hole interaction depending on the directionality of hydrogen bond donation. Work is in progress expanding this research on aryl π –hole interactions to a large number of systems, including halides, CO, and OCH3− as acceptors, in order to derive a general design protocol for new members of this interesting class of compounds.

Abstract
In this review, we provide a consistent description of noncovalent interactions, covering most groups of the Periodic Table. Different types of bonds are discussed using their trivial names. Moreover, the new name “Spodium bonds” is proposed for group 12 since noncovalent interactions involving this group of elements as electron acceptors have not yet been named. Excluding hydrogen bonds, the following noncovalent interactions will be discussed: alkali, alkaline earth, regium, spodium, triel, tetrel, pnictogen, chalcogen, halogen, and aerogen, which almost covers the Periodic Table entirely. Other interactions, such as orthogonal interactions and π-π stacking, will also be considered. Research and applications of σ-hole and π-hole interactions involving the p-block element is growing exponentially. The important applications include supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering, catalysis, enzymatic chemistry molecular machines, membrane ion transport, etc. Despite the fact that this review is not intended to be comprehensive, a number of representative works for each type of interaction is provided. The possibility of modeling the dissociation energies of the complexes using different models (HSAB, ECW, Alkorta-Legon) was analyzed. Finally, the extension of Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules to noncovalent is proposed.

Abstract
The bonding character of the noncovalent complexes of the noble-gas (Ng) atoms ranges from nearly purely dispersive contacts to interactions featuring appreciable contributions of induction and charge transfer. In this study, we discuss a new quantitative index that seems peculiarly informative about these diverse bonding situations. This index was termed as the degree of polarization (DoP) of Ng, as it measures, in essence, the Ng polarization promoted by the binding partner. The definition of the DoP(Ng) relies on the analysis of the local electron energy density H(r), and its physical meaning was best appreciated by studying also the charge-displacement function and the molecular electrostatic potential of the investigated benchmark species, that include nearly 60 Ngs complexes of different bonding character. The DoP(Ng) appears of general applicability, and is also positively correlated with other bonding character indices. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
A set of 35 representative neutral and charged tetrel complexes was investigated with the objective of finding the factors that influence the strength of tetrel bonding involving single bonded C, Si, and Ge donors and double bonded C or Si donors. For the first time, we introduced an intrinsic bond strength measure for tetrel bonding, derived from calculated vibrational spectroscopy data obtained at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory and used this measure to rationalize and order the tetrel bonds. Our study revealed that the strength of tetrel bonds is affected by several factors, such as the magnitude of the σ-hole in the tetrel atom, the negative electrostatic potential at the lone pair of the tetrel-acceptor, the positive charge at the peripheral hydrogen of the tetrel-donor, the exchange-repulsion between the lone pair orbitals of the peripheral atoms of the tetrel-donor and the heteroatom of the tetrel-acceptor, and the stabilization brought about by electron delocalization. Thus, focusing on just one or two of these factors, in particular, the σ-hole description can only lead to an incomplete picture. Tetrel bonding covers a range of -1.4 to -26 kcal/mol, which can be strengthened by substituting the peripheral ligands with electron-withdrawing substituents and by positively charged tetrel-donors or negatively charged tetrel-acceptors.

Abstract
In this manuscript, we combined DFT calculations (PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) and a Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) survey to evaluate the ability of perchlorinated cyclopenta- and cyclohexatetrelanes in establishing tetrel bonding interactions. For this purpose, we used Tr5Cl10 and Tr6Cl12 (Tr = Si and Ge) and HCN, HF, OH− and Cl− as electron donor entities. Furthermore, we performed an Atoms in Molecules (AIM) analysis to further describe and characterize the interactions studied herein. A survey of crystal structures in the CSD reveals that close contacts between Si and lone-pair-possessing atoms are quite common and oriented along the extension of the covalent bond formed by the silicon with the halogen atom.

Abstract
The interaction between KrOF2 or XeOF2 and the 1,2, 1,3, and 1,4 diazines is characterized chiefly by a Kr/XeN aerogen bond, as deduced from ab initio calculations. The most stable dimers take advantage of the σ-hole on the aerogen atom, wherein the two molecules lie in the same plane. The interaction is quite strong, as much as 18 kcal mol-1. A second class of dimer geometry utilizes the π-hole above the aerogen atom in an approximate perpendicular arrangement of the two monomers; these structures are not as strongly bound: 6-8 kcal mol-1. Both sorts of dimers contain auxiliary CHF H-bonds which contribute to their stability, but even with their removal, the aerogen bond energy remains as high as 14 kcal mol-1. The nature and strength of each specific interaction is confirmed and quantified by AIM, NCI, NBO, and electron density shift patterns. There is not a great deal of sensitivity to the identity of either the aerogen atom or the position of the two N atoms in the diazine.

To understand the cooperativity mechanism in these systems, the corresponding binary NCX···NCH and O3Z···NCH complexes are also considered. The binding distances, interaction energies, and bonding properties of the NCX···(NCH)n=2–5 and O3Z···(NCH)n=2–5 clusters are analyzed in detail. It is found that the cooperative effects in the hydrogen bonding tend to strengthen X···N and Z···N interactions. For both NCX···(NCH)n and O3Z···(NCH)n clusters, a small bond shrinkage is observed from n = 4 to n = 5, which suggests that the cooperativity effects are almost saturated in the larger clusters (n > 5). As the size of the X or Z atom is increased, the magnitude of the cooperative energy in these systems is also increased, which is mainly ascribed to changes in electrostatic potentials and orbital interactions. Our results indicate that the cooperative effects lead to a substantial change in the 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of the NCH molecule.

Abstract
The π-hole of triphosphorus hydride (P3H3) and its derivatives Z3X3 (Z = P, As; X = H, F, Cl, Br) was discovered and analyzed. MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ calculations were performed on the π-hole interactions in the HCN...Z3X3 complexes and the mutual influence between π-hole interactions and the hydrogen bond in the HCN...HCN...Z3X3 and HCN...Z3X3...HCN complexes studied. The π-hole interaction belongs to the typical closed-shell noncovalent interaction. The linear relationship was found between the most positive electrostatic potential of the π-hole (VS,max) and the interaction energy. Moreover, the VS,max of the π-hole was also found to be linearly correlated to the electrostatic energy term, indicating the important contribution of the electrostatic energy term to the π-hole interaction. There is positive cooperativity between the π-hole interaction and the hydrogen bond in the termolecular complexes. The π-hole interaction has a greater influence on the hydrogen bond than vice versa. The mutual enhancing effect between the π-hole interaction and the hydrogen bond in the HCN...HCN...Z3X3 complexes is greater than that in the HCN...Z3X3...HCN complexes.

Abstract
In contrast to the increasing family of weak intermolecular interactions in main-group compounds (X-Z···Y, Z = main-group elements), an analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database indicates that electron-saturated (18-electron) transition-metal complexes show reluctance toward weak M bond formation (X-M···Y, M = transition metal). In particular, weak M bonds involving electron-saturated (18-electron) complexes of transition metals with partially filled d-orbitals are not found. We propose that the nature of valence electron density distribution in transition-metal complexes is the primary reason for this reluctance. A survey of the interaction of selected electron-saturated transition-metal complexes with electron-rich molecules (Y) demonstrates the following: shielding the possible σ-hole on the metal center by the core electron density in 3d series, and enhanced electronegativity and relativistic effects in 4d and 5d series, hinders the formation of the M bond. A balance in all the destabilizing effects has been found in the 4d series due to its moderate polarizability and primogenic repulsion from inner core d-electrons. A changeover in the donor-acceptor nature of the metal center toward different types of incoming molecules is also unveiled here. The present study confirms the possibility of M bond as a new supramolecular force in designing the crystal structures of electron-saturated transition-metal complexes by invoking extreme ligand conditions.

Abstract
In this manuscript, the ability of BH2 X compounds (X=F, Cl, Br, and I) to establish halogen-, hydrogen-, and triel-bonding interactions was studied at the RI-MP2/aug-cc-pVQZ level of theory. Several homodimers were taken into account, highlighting the versatility of these compounds to act as both electron donors and electron acceptors. Natural bond orbital analysis showed that orbital effects were important contributors to the global stabilization of the σ- and π-hole bonded complexes studied. Finally, some X-ray solid-state structures retrieved from the Cambridge structural database were described to demonstrate the importance of these interactions involving boron derivatives in the solid state.
