Abstract
With halides X− (X = Cl, Br, I) 5,6-dicyano-[1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine 1 forms chalcogen-bonded complexes [1–X]− structurally defined by XRD. UV/Vis spectra of [1–X]− feature red-shifted charge-transfer bands in the Vis part.

Abstract
![]()
In this study, we provide experimental
(Protein Data Bank (PDB)
inspection) and theoretical (RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory) evidence
of the involvement of charge assisted chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions
in the recognition and folding mechanisms of S-adenosylmethionine
(SAM) riboswitches. Concretely, an initial PDB search revealed several
examples where ChBs between S-adenosyl methionine (SAM)/adenosyl selenomethionine
(EEM) molecules and uracil (U) bases belonging to RNA take place.
While these interactions are usually described as a merely Coulombic
attraction between the positively charged S/Se group and RNA, theoretical
calculations indicated that the σ holes of S and Se are involved.
Moreover, computational models shed light on the strength and directionality
properties of the interaction, which was also further characterized
from a charge-density perspective using Bader’s “Atoms
in Molecules” (AIM) theory, Non-Covalent Interaction plot (NCIplot)
visual index, and Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) analyses. As far as
our knowledge extends, this is the first time that ChBs in SAM–RNA
complexes have been systematically analyzed, and we believe the results
might be useful for scientists working in the field of RNA engineering
and chemical biology as well as to increase the visibility of the
interaction among the biological community.

The role of electric field, peripheral chains, and magnetic effects on significant 1H upfield shifts of the encapsulated molecules in chalcogen-bonded capsules.

Abstract
The chalcogen-bonded homo-cavitand and hetero-cavitand AY+AY' capsules (Y, Y' = Se, Te), as well as their encapsulated complexes with one or two guest molecules have been studied theoretically via density functional theory (DFT), while the 1H NMR spectra of the homo-cavitand encapsulated complexes (in ASe+ASe) have been measured experimentally. There is excellent agreement between theoretical and experimental spectra. In all cases, we found significant 1H upfield shifts which are more intense in the ASe+ASe cage compared to the ATe+ATe and ASe+ATe cages. The non-uniform electron distribution which gives rise to an inherent electric field and a non-zero electric dipole moment of the encapsulated complexes, the induced electric field effects, the magnetic anisotropy which is enhanced due to the polarizability of chalcogen atoms, and the peripheral chains, which are responsible for the solubility of the cages, increase the upfield shifts of 1H of the encapsulated molecules; the peripheral chains lead to an increase of the upfield shifts by up to 1.8 ppm for H of the rim and up to 1.2 ppm for the terminal H in the interior of the cage. Hence, substantial 1H upfield chemical shifts of the guests in these capsules are consequences of (i) the enhanced aromaticity of the walls of the capsules due to the polarizability of chalcogen atoms, (ii) the induced and inherent electric field effects, and (iii) the peripheral chains.
