Abstract
H-selenite anions (HSeO3 - ) form in the solid unprecedented anionic supramolecular chains wherein single units are assembled via alternating short Se⋅⋅⋅O and H⋅⋅⋅O contacts. Crystallographic analyses and computational studies (the quantum theory of "atoms-in-molecules", QTAIM, and the noncovalent interaction plot, NCIPlot) consistently prove the attractive nature of these chalcogen bonds (ChBs) and hydrogen honds (HBs), the Janus-type character of HSeO3 - anions which act as both donors and acceptors of ChB and HB, and the possible stability of anion dimers in solution. The effectiveness of the ChBs herein described may lead to consider the HSeO3 - moiety as a new entry in the toolbox of crystal engineering based on ChB.

Abstract
ConspectusAmong the noncovalent interactions available in the toolbox of crystal engineering, chalcogen bonding (ChB) has recently entered the growing family of σ-hole interactions, following the strong developments based on the halogen bonding (XB) interaction over the last 30 years. The monovalent character of halogens provides halogen bonding directionality and strength. Combined with the extensive organic chemistry of Br and I derivatives, it has led to many applications of XB, in solution (organo-catalysis, anion recognition and transport), in the solid state (cocrystals, conducting materials, fluorescent materials, topochemical reactions, ...), in soft matter (liquid crystals, gels,···), and in biochemistry. The recognition of the presence of two σ-holes on divalent chalcogens and the ability to activate them, as in XB, with electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) has fueled more recent interest in chalcogen bonding. However, despite being identified for many years, ChB still struggles to make a mark due to (i) the underdeveloped synthetic chemistry of heavier Se and Te; (ii) the limited stability of organic chalcogenides, especially tellurides; and (iii) the poor predictability of ChB associated with the presence of two σ-holes. It therefore invites a great deal of attention of molecular chemists to design and develop selected ChB donors, for the scrutiny of fundamentals of ChB and their successful use in different applications. This Account aims to summarize our own contributions in this direction that extend from fundamental studies focused on addressing the lack of directionality/predictability in ChB to a systematic demonstration of its potential, specifically in crystal engineering, and particularly toward anionic networks on the one hand, topochemical reactions on the other hand.In this Account, we share our recent results aimed at recovering with ChB the same degree of strength and predictability found with XB, by focusing on divalent Se and Te systems with two different substituents, one of them with an EWG, to strongly unbalance both σ-holes. For that purpose, we explored this dissymmetrization concept within three chemical families, selenocyanates R-SeCN, alkynyl derivatives R-C≡C-(Se/Te)Me, and o-carborane derivatives. Such compounds were systematically engaged in cocrystals with either halides or neutral bipyridines as ChB acceptors, revealing their strong potential to chelate halides as well as their ability to organize reactive molecules such as alkenes and butadiynes toward [2+2] cycloadditions and polydiacetylene formation, respectively. This selective activation concept is not limited to ChB but can be effectively used on all other σ-hole interactions (pnictogen bond, tetrel bond, etc.) where one needs to control the directionality of the interaction.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis remains a significant global health concern, with current treatments relying on outdated drugs associated with high toxicity, lengthy administration, elevated costs, and drug resistance. Consequently, the urgent need for safer and more effective therapeutic options in leishmaniasis treatment persists. Previous research has highlighted selenium compounds as promising candidates for innovative leishmaniasis therapy. In light of this, a library of 10 selenium-containing diverse compounds was designed and evaluated in this study. These compounds included selenium-substituted indole, coumarin, chromone, oxadiazole, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, Imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, and oxazole, among others. These compounds were screened against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes, and their cytotoxicity was assessed in peritoneal macrophages, NIH/3T3, and J774A.1 cells. Among the tested compounds, MRK-106 and MRK-108 displayed the highest potency against L. amazonensis promastigotes with reduced cytotoxicity. Notably, MRK-106 and MRK-108 exhibited IC50 values of 3.97 µM and 4.23 µM, respectively, and most of the tested compounds showed low cytotoxicity in host cells (CC50 > 200 µM). Also, compounds MRK-107 and MRK-113 showed activity against intracellular amastigotes (IC50 18.31 and 15.93 µM and SI 12.55 and 10.92, respectively). In conclusion, the identified selenium-containing compounds hold potential structures as antileishmanial drug candidates to be further explored in subsequent studies. These findings represent a significant step toward the development of safer and more effective therapies for leishmaniasis, addressing the pressing need for novel and improved treatments.

Abstract
A new series of unsymmetrical phenyl tellurides derived from 2-N-(quinolin-8-yl) benzamide ligand has been synthesized in a practical manner by the copper-catalyzed method by using diaryl ditelluride and Mg as a reductant at room temperature. In order to augment the Lewis acidity of these newly formed unsymmetrical monotellurides, these have been transformed into corresponding unsymmetrical 2-N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzamide tellurium cations. Subsequently, these Lewis acidic tellurium cations were used as chalcogen bonding catalysts, enabling the synthesis of various substituted 1,2-dihydroquinolines by activating ketones with anilines under mild conditions. Moreover, the synthesized 2-N-(quinolin-8-yl)benzamide phenyl tellurium cation has also catalyzed the formation of β-amino alcohols in high regioselectivity by effectively activating epoxides at room temperature. Mechanistic insight by 1 H and 19 F NMR study, electrostatic surface potential (ESP map), control reaction in which tellurium cation reacted explosively with epoxide, suggested that the enhanced Lewis acidity of tellurium center seems responsible for efficient catalytic activities under mild conditions enabling β-amino alcohols with excellent regioselectivity and 1,2-dihydroquinolines with trifluoromethyl, nitro, and pyridylsubstitution, which were difficult to access.

Abstract
In recent years, the non-covalent interactions between chalcogen centers have aroused substantial research interest because of their potential applications in organocatalysis, materials science, drug design, biological systems, crystal engineering, and molecular recognition. However, studies on π-hole-type chalcogen∙∙∙chalcogen interactions are scarcely reported in the literature. Herein, the π-hole-type intermolecular chalcogen∙∙∙chalcogen interactions in the model complexes formed between XO2 (X = S, Se, Te) and CH3YCH3 (Y = O, S, Se, Te) were systematically studied by using quantum chemical computations. The model complexes are stabilized via one primary X∙∙∙Y chalcogen bond (ChB) and the secondary C-H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds. The binding energies of the studied complexes are in the range of -21.6~-60.4 kJ/mol. The X∙∙∙Y distances are significantly smaller than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the corresponding two atoms. The X∙∙∙Y ChBs in all the studied complexes except for the SO2∙∙∙CH3OCH3 complex are strong in strength and display a partial covalent character revealed by conducting the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), a non-covalent interaction plot (NCIplot), and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses. The symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) analysis discloses that the X∙∙∙Y ChBs are primarily dominated by the electrostatic component.

Abstract
The activation of ethers by weak interactions is a long-standing objective in supramolecular catalysis, but yet it remains an underdeveloped topic. The obstacles towards solving this problem are prominent since it is difficult for a weak interaction to cleave a relatively strong C-O σ-bond and moreover, the ionic intermediate composing of an alkoxide ion and an electrophilic carbocation would deactivate weak interaction donors. Herein, we describe a distinctive activation mode, dual Se···π and Se···O bonding, that could activate benzylic as well as allylic ether C-O σ-bonds to achieve cyclization, coupling and elimination reactions. This dual Se···π and Se···O bonding catalysis approach could tolerate various alkoxide leaving groups, while the other representative weak interaction donors showed no catalytic activity.

The developed method is suitable for a wide substrate scope and affords 3-selenylated chromones in good to excellent yield with high selectivity. An ionic mechanism is proposed for this transformation. Furthermore, the application of potassium thiocyanate with enaminones for the synthesis of thiocyano chromones in this transformation is also successful.

Abstract
The experimental structural features of chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions in over 34,000 linear fragments R–Ch⋯A (Ch = S, Se, Te; R = C, N, O, S, Se, Te; A = N, O, S, Se, Te, F, Cl, Br, I) were analyzed. The bond distances dR–Ch and the interaction distances dCh⋯A were investigated, and the functions δR–Ch and δCh⋯A were introduced to compare the structural data of R–Ch⋯A fragments involving different Ch atoms. The functions δR−Ch and δCh⋯A were calculated by normalizing the differences between the relevant bond dR–Ch and ChB interaction dCh⋯A distances with respect to the sum of the relevant covalent (rcovR + rcovCh) and the van der Waals (vdW) radii (rvdWCh + rvdWA), respectively. A systematic comparison is presented, highlighting the role of the chalcogen involved, the role of the R atoms covalently bonded to the Ch, and the role of the A species playing the role of chalcogen bond acceptor. Based on the results obtained, an innovative approach is proposed for the evaluation and categorization of the ChB strength based on structural data.

Square Planar Pt(II) Ion as Electron Donor in Pnictogen Bonding Interactions. INORGANICS 2023.

Abstract
It has been proposed that late transition metals with low coordination numbers (square planar or linear) can act as nucleophiles and participate in σ-hole interactions as electron donors. This is due to the existence, in this type of metal complexes, of a pair of electrons located at high energy d-orbitals (dz2 or dx2-y2), which are adequate for interacting with antibonding σ-orbitals [σ*(X–Y)] where Y is usually an electron withdrawing element and X an element of the p-block. This type of d[M]→σ*(X–Y) interaction has been reported for metals of groups 9–11 in oxidation states +1 and +2 (d8 and d10) as electron donors and σ-holes located in halogen and chalcogen atoms as electron acceptors. To our knowledge, it has not been described for σ-holes located in pnictogen atoms. In this manuscript, evidence for the existence of pnictogen bonding involving the square planar Pt(II) metal as the electron donor and Sb as the electron acceptor is provided by using an X-ray structure retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and theoretical calculations. In particular, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), the noncovalent interaction plot (NCIPlot) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) methods were used. Moreover, to further confirm the nature of the Sb···Pt(II) contact, a recently developed method was used where the electron density (ED) and electrostatic potential (ESP) distribution were compared along the Sb···Pt(II) bond path.

Selenoxides as Excellent Chalcogen Bond Donors: Effect of Metal Coordination. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27248837.

Abstract
The chalcogen bond has been recently defined by the IUPAC as the attractive noncovalent interaction between any element of group 16 acting as an electrophile and any atom (or group of atoms) acting as a nucleophile. Commonly used chalcogen bond donor molecules are divalent selenium and tellurium derivatives that exhibit two σ-holes. In fact, the presence of two σ-hole confers to the chalcogen bonding additional possibilities with respect to the halogen bond, the most abundant σ-hole interaction. In this manuscript, we demonstrate that selenoxides are good candidates to be used as σ-hole donor molecules. Such molecules have not been analyzed before as chalcogen bond donors, as far as our knowledge extends. The σ-hole opposite to the Se=O bond is adequate for establishing strong and directional ChBs, as demonstrated herein using the Cambridge structural database (CSD) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, the effect of the metal coordination of the selenoxide to transition metals on the strength of the ChB interaction has been analyzed theoretically. The existence of the ChBs has been further supported by the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and the noncovalent interaction plot (NCIPlot).

Abstract
Osme bonds have been recently defined as the attractive interaction between an element of group 8 acting as an electrophile and any atom or group of atoms acting as a nucleophile. To date, the known examples of osme bonds in X-ray structures involve mostly the highly reactive OsO4 and amines and amine oxides. In this work, evidence supporting the existence of osme bonds in osmium(VI) derivatives is reported. In particular, nitrido-osmium(VI) complexes that present square-pyramidal geometries are well disposed to participate in osme bonds opposite to the Os≡N bond. By using a combination of experimental and theoretical results, the existence and importance of this new class of σ-hole interactions is demonstrated in the solid state of several nitrido-osmium(VI) derivatives.

Abstract
The activation of aziridines typically involves the use of strong Lewis acids or transition metals, and methods relying on weak interactions are rare. Herein, we report that cooperative chalcogen bonding interactions in confined sites can activate sulfonyl-protected aziridines. Among the several possible distinct bonding modes, our experiments and computational studies suggest that an activation mode involving the cooperative Se···O and Se···N interactions is in operation. The catalytic reactions between weakly bonded supramolecular species and nonactivated alkenes are considered as unfavorable approaches. However, here we show that the activation of aziridines by cooperative Se···O and Se···N interactions enables the cycloaddition of weakly bonded aziridine-selenide complex with nonactivated alkenes in a catalytic manner. Thus, weak interactions can indeed enable these transformations and are an alternative to methods relying on strong Lewis acids. The activation of aziridines is typically achieved via reaction with strong Lewis acids or transition metals. Here, the authors report that cooperative Se ∙ ∙∙O and Se ∙ ∙∙N noncovalent interactions can activate sulfonyl-protected aziridines, which enables their use in cycloaddition reactions with nonactivated alkenes.

Abstract
Sigma-hole interactions, in particular halogen bonding (XB) and chalcogen bonding (ChB), have become indispensable tools in supramolecular chemistry, with wide-ranging applications in crystal engineering, catalysis and materials chemistry as well as anion recognition, transport and sensing. The latter has very rapidly developed in recent years and is becoming a mature research area in its own right. This can be attributed to the numerous advantages sigma-hole interactions imbue in sensor design, in particular high degrees of selectivity, sensitivity and the capability for sensing in aqueous media. Herein, we provide the first detailed overview of all developments in the field of XB and ChB mediated sensing, in particular the detection of anions but also neutral (gaseous) Lewis bases. This includes a wide range of optical colorimetric and luminescent sensors as well as an array of electrochemical sensors, most notably redox-active host systems. In addition, we discuss a range of other sensor designs, including capacitive sensors and chemiresistors, and provide a detailed overview and outlook for future fundamental developments in the field. Importantly the sensing concepts and methodologies described herein for the XB and ChB mediated sensing of anions, are generically applicable for the development of supramolecular receptors and sensors in general, including those for cations and neutral molecules employing a wide array of non-covalent interactions. As such we believe this review to be a useful guide to both the supramolecular and general chemistry community with interests in the fields of host-guest recognition and small molecule sensing. Moreover, we also highlight the need for a broader integration of supramolecular chemistry, analytical chemistry, synthetic chemistry and materials science in the development of the next generation of potent sensors.

Abstract
In this study we propose to coin the term Wolfium bond (WfB) to refer to a net attractive force (noncovalent interaction) between any element of group 6 and electron donor atoms (neutral molecules or anions) and to differentiate it from a coordination bond (metal‐ligand interaction). We provide evidence of the existence of this interaction by inspecting the X‐ray crystal structure of proteins containing Molybdopterin and Tungstopterin cofactors from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The plausible biological role of the interaction as well as its physical nature (antibonding Wf‐Ligand orbital involved) are also analyzed by means of ab initio calculations (RI‐MP2/def2‐TZVP level of theory), Atoms in Molecules (AIM), Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) and Noncovalent Interactions plot (NCIplot) analyses.

Abstract
Multiply-bonded main group metal compounds are of interest as a new class of reactive species able to activate and functionalize a wide range of substrates. The aluminium sulfido compound K[Al(NONDipp)(S)] (NONDipp = [O(SiMe2NDipp)2]2-, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3), completing the series of [Al(NONDipp)(E)]- anions containing Al-E{16} multiple bonds (E{16} = O, S, Se, Te), was accessed via desulfurisation of K[Al(NONDipp)(S4)] using triphenylphosphane. The crystal structure showed a tetrameric aggregate joined by multiple K⋯S and K⋯π(arene) interactions that were disrupted by the addition of 2.2.2-cryptand to form the separated ion pair, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][Al(NONDipp)(S)]. Analysis of the anion using density functional theory (DFT) confirmed multiple-bond character in the Al-S group. The reaction of the sulfido and selenido anions K[Al(NONDipp)(E)] (E = S, Se) with CO2 afforded K[Al(NONDipp)(κ2 E,O-EC{O}O)] containing the thio- and seleno-carbonate groups respectively, consistent with a [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction and C-E bond formation. An analogous cycloaddition reaction took place with benzophenone affording compounds containing the diphenylsulfido- and diphenylselenido-methanolate ligands, [κ2 E,O-EC{O}Ph2]2-. In contrast, when K[Al(NONDipp)(E)] (E = S, Se) was reacted with benzaldehyde, two equivalents of substrate were incorporated into the product accompanied by formation of a second C-E bond and complete cleavage of the Al-E{16} bonds. The products contained the hitherto unknown κ2 O,O-thio- and κ2 O,O-seleno-bis(phenylmethanolate) ligands, which were exclusively isolated as the cis-stereoisomers. The mechanisms of these cycloaddition reactions were investigated using DFT methods.

Abstract
In this study the ability of metal coordinated Chalcogen (Ch) atoms to undergo Chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions has been evaluated at the PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory. An initial CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) inspection revealed the presence of square planar Pd/Pt coordination complexes where divalent Ch atoms (Se/Te) were used as ligands. Interestingly, the coordination to the metal center enhanced the σ-hole donor ability of the Ch atom, which participates in ChBs with neighboring units present in the X-ray crystal structure, therefore dictating the solid state architecture. The X-ray analyses were complemented with a computational study (PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory), which shed light into the strength and directionality of the ChBs studied herein. Owing to the new possibilities that metal coordination offers to enhance or modulate the σ-hole donor ability of Chs, we believe that the findings presented herein are of remarkable importance for supramolecular chemists as well as for those scientists working in the field of solid state chemistry.

Abstract
Described herein is a chalcogen bonding catalysis approach to the synthesis of calix[4]pyrrole derivatives. The Se···O bonding interactions between selenide catalysts and ketones gave rise to the catalytic activity in the condensation reactions between pyrrole and ketones, leading to the generation of calix[4]pyrrole derivatives in moderate to high yields. This chalcogen bonding catalysis approach was efficient since only 5 mol % catalyst loading was used to promote the consecutive condensation processes while the reactions could be carried out at room temperature, thus highlighting the potential of this type of nonclassical interactions in catalyzing relative complex transformations.

Abstract
For the first time, long range substituent effects in regium bonding interactions involving Au(I) linear complexes are investigated. The Au(I) atom is coordinated to two para -substituted pyridine ligands. The interaction energy (RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory) of the π-hole regium bonding assemblies is affected by the pyridine substitution. The Hammett's plot representations for several sets of Lewis bases have been carried out and, in all cases, good regression plots have been obtained (interaction energies vs. Hammett's σ parameter). The Bader's theory of "atoms-in-molecules" has been used to evidence that the electron density computed at the bond critical point that connects the Au-atom to the electron donor can be used as a measure of bond order in regium bonding. Several X-ray structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) provide some experimental support to the existence of regium π-hole bonding in [Au(Py) 2 ] + derivatives.

Abstract
Being aware of the enormous biological potential of organoselenium and polyphenolic compounds, we have accomplished the preparation of novel hybrids, combining both pharmacophores in order to obtain new antioxidant and antiproliferative agents. Three different families have been accessed in a straightforward and chemoselective fashion: carbohydrate-containing N-acylisoselenoureas, N-arylisoselenocarbamates and N-arylselenocarbamates. The nature of the organoselenium framework, number and position of phenolic hydroxyl groups and substituents on the aromatic scaffolds afforded valuable structure–activity relationships for the biological assays accomplished: antioxidant properties (antiradical activity, DNA-protective effects, Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimicry) and antiproliferative activity. Regarding the antioxidant activity, selenocarbamates 24–27 behaved as excellent mimetics of GPx in the substoichiometric elimination of H2O2 as a Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) model. Isoselenocarbamates and particularly their selenocarbamate isomers exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against non-small lung cell lines (A549, SW1573) in the low micromolar range, with similar potency to that shown by the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin (cis-diaminodichloroplatin, CDDP) and occasionally with more potency than etoposide (VP-16).

Abstract
Abstract
A practical and efficient synthetic route to construct a variety of 3-arylselenenyl/3-arylthio spiro[4.5]trienones was developed using Selectfluor reagent as a mild oxidant. This reaction proceeds via a sequence of electrophilic cation addition, spirocyclization and dearomatization, then offers an approach to introduce Se/S-centered cation into the C–C triple bonds. The utility of this protocol were justified by the excellent compatibility of a wide range of functional groups, good yields and scalability under mild reaction conditions.

Abstract
In this review, several examples of the application of pnictogen (Pn) (group 15) and chalcogen (Ch) bonding (group 16) interactions in organocatalytic processes are gathered, backed up with Molecular Electrostatic Potential surfaces of model systems. Despite the fact that the use of catalysts based on pnictogen and chalcogen bonding interactions is taking its first steps, it should be considered and used by the scientific community as a novel, promising tool in the field of organocatalysis.

Abstract
In this communication experimental and theoretical results are reported affording strong evidence that interactions between electron rich atoms and the metal of tetroxide anions of group 7 elements are a new case of attractive and σ-hole interactions. Single crystal X-ray analyses, molecular electrostatic potentials, quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules, and noncovalent interaction plot analyses show that in crystalline permanganate and perrhenate salts the metal in Mn/ReO4- anion can act as electron acceptors, the oxygen of another Mn/ReO4- anion can act as the donor and supramolecular anionic dimers or polymers are formed. The name matere bond (MaB) is proposed to categorize these noncovalent interactions and to differentiate them from the classical metal-ligand coordination bond.

Abstract
Formal substitution of the oxygen atom of an iso-tellurazole N-oxide with deprotonated (ortho, meta, and para)-hydroxyphenyl groups generated molecules that readily aggregate through Te···O chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions. The molecules undergo autoassociation in solution, as shown by variable temperature (VT) 1H NMR experiments and paralleling the behavior of iso-tellurazole N-oxides. Judicious adjustment of crystallization conditions enabled the isolation of either polymeric or macrocyclic aggregates. Among the latter, the ortho compound assembled a calixarene-like trimer, while the para isomer built a macrocyclic tetramer akin to a molecular square. The Te···O ChB distances in these structures range from 2.13 to 2.17 Å, comparable to those in the structures of iso-tellurazole N-oxides. DFT calculations estimate that the corresponding Te···O ChB energies are between -122 and -195 kJ mol-1 in model dimers and suggest that macrocyclic aggregation enhances these interactions.

Abstract
Elements from groups 14–18 and periods 3–6 commonly behave as Lewis acids, which are involved in directional noncovalent interactions (NCI) with electron-rich species (lone pair donors), π systems (aromatic rings, triple and double bonds) as well as nonnucleophilic anions (BF4−, PF6−, ClO4−, etc.). Moreover, elements of groups 15 to 17 are also able to act as Lewis bases (from one to three available lone pairs, respectively), thus presenting a dual character. These emerging NCIs where the main group element behaves as Lewis base, belong to the σ–hole family of interactions. Particularly (i) tetrel bonding for elements belonging to group 14, (ii) pnictogen bonding for group 15, (iii) chalcogen bonding for group 16, (iv) halogen bonding for group 17, and (v) noble gas bondings for group 18. In general, σ–hole interactions exhibit different features when moving along the same group (offering larger and more positive σ–holes) or the same row (presenting a different number of available σ–holes and directionality) of the periodic table. This is illustrated in this review by using several examples retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), especially focused on σ–hole interactions, complemented with molecular electrostatic potential surfaces of model systems.

Abstract
In this manuscript the ability of selenium carbohydrates to undergo chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions with protein residues has been studied at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory. An inspection of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) revealed SeA (A = O, C and S) intermolecular contacts involving Se-pyranose ligands and ASP, TYR, SER and MET residues. Theoretical models were built to analyse the strength and directionality of the interaction together with "Atoms in Molecules" (AIM), Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) and Non Covalent Interactions plot (NCIplot) analyses, which further assisted in the characterization of the ChBs described herein. We expect that the results from this study will be useful to expand the current knowledge regarding biological ChBs as well as to increase the visibility of the interaction among the carbohydrate chemistry community.

Abstract
In this study, the PDB has been manually scrutinized by using a subset of all PDB entries containing organic iodinated ligands. Four structures exhibiting short IA halogen bonding (HaB) contacts (A stands for the σ-hole acceptor) have been selected and further analysed. In most hits, the sigma-hole acceptor corresponds to an O-atom of the amido group belonging to the protein backbone. In a minority of hits, the electron donors are O, S, Se or π-systems of the amino-acid side chains. A judicious selection of four PDB structures presenting all four types of HaB interactions (C-IA, A = O, S, Se, π) has been performed. For these selected structures, a comprehensive RI-MP2/def2-TZVP study has been carried out to evaluate the HaB energetically. Moreover, the interactions have been characterized by combining the quantum theory of "atoms-in-molecules" (QTAIM) and the noncovalent interaction plot (NCIPlot) and rationalized using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface.

Abstract
Chloroazaphosphatranes, the corresponding halogenophosphonium cations of the Verkade superbases, were evaluated as a new motif for halogen bonding (XB). Their modulable synthesis allowed for synthetizing chloroazaphosphatranes with various substituents on the nitrogen atoms. The binding constants determined from NMR titration experiments for Cl-, Br-, I-, AcO-, and CN- anions are comparable to those obtained with conventional iodine-based monodentate XB receptors. Remarkably, the protonated azaphosphatrane counterparts display no affinity for anions under the same conditions. The strength of the XB interaction is, to some extent, related to the basicity of the corresponding Verkade superbase. The halogen bonding abilities of this new class of halogen donor motif were also revealed by the Δδ(31P) NMR shift observed in CD2Cl2 solution in the presence of triethylphosphine oxide (TEPO). Thus, chloroazaphosphatranes constitute a new class of halogen bond donors, expanding the repertory of XB motifs mainly based on CAr-I bonds.

Abstract
The controlled oxidation reaction of L-selenocystine under neutral pH conditions affords selenocysteine seleninic acid (3-selenino-L-alanine) which is characterized also by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This technique shows that selenium forms three chalcogen bonds (ChBs), one of them being outstandingly short. A survey of seleninic acid derivatives in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) confirms that the C-Se(=O)O- functionality tends to act as a ChB donor robust enough to systematically influence the interactional landscape in the solid. Quantum Theory of Atom in Molecules (QTAIM) analysis proves the attractive nature of the short contacts observed in crystals containing the seleninic functionality and calculation of surface molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) reveals that remarkably positive σ-holes can frequently be found opposite to the covalent bonds at selenium. Both CSD searches and QTAIM and MEP approaches show that also the sulfinic acid moiety can function as a ChB donor, albeit less frequently than the seleninic acid one. These findings may contribute to a better understanding, at the atomic level, of the mechanism of action of the enzymes that control oxidative stress and ROS deactivation and that contain selenocysteine seleninic acid and cysteine sulfinic acid in the active site.

Abstract
Chlorination of 3-methyl-5-phenyl-1,2-tellurazole-2-oxide yielded the λ4 Te dichloro derivative. Its crystal structure demonstrates that the heterocycle retains its ability to autoassociate by chalcogen bonding (ChB) forming macrocyclic tetramers. The corresponding Te⋅⋅⋅O ChB distances are 2.062 Å, the shortest observed to date in aggregates of this type. DFT-D3 calculations indicate that while the halogenated molecule is stronger as a ChB donor it also is a weaker ChB acceptor; the overall effect is that the ChBs in the chlorinated homotetramer are not significantly stronger. However, partial halogenation or scrambling selectively yield the 2 : 2 heterotetramer with alternating λ4 Te and λ2 Te centers, which calculations identified as the thermodynamically preferred arrangement.

Abstract
Cobaltoceniumselenolate is an unusual, highly air-sensitive, mesoionic compound containing a very soft anionic selenium donor atom. Here we explore its coordination chemistry with Au(I) metal centers and show that its hetero- and homoleptic gold complexes are highly colored, air-stable compounds, which were characterized by 1H/13C/31P/77Se NMR, IR, UV-Vis, HR-MS and single crystal XRD. Cytotoxicity of these polar, water-soluble complexes was studied against various standard cancer cell lines (A549MDA-MB-231, HT-29) revealing good anticancer activity of all three complexes.

Abstract
In order to explore how specific atom-to-atom replacements change the electrostatic potentials on 1,3,4-chalcogenadiazole derivatives, and to deliberately alter the balance between intermolecular interactions, four target molecules were synthesized and characterized. DFT calculations indicated that the atom-to-atom substitution of Br with I, and S with Se enhanced the σ-hole potentials, thus increasing the structure directing ability of halogen bonds and chalcogen bonds as compared to intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The delicate balance between these intermolecular forces was further underlined by the formation of two polymorphs of 5-(4-iodophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine; Form I displayed all three interactions while Form II only showed hydrogen and chalcogen bonding. The results emphasize that the deliberate alterations of the electrostatic potential on polarizable atoms can cause specific and deliberate changes to the main synthons and subsequent assemblies in the structures of this family of compounds.

Abstract
Telluronium cations have long been known to engage their counteranions via secondary interactions. Yet, this property has rarely been exploited for anion binding. Motivated by such an application, we have now synthesized a bis-telluronium dication ([3]2+) that was obtained as a tetrafluoroborate salt by reaction of 2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene-4,5-diboronic acid with phenoxatellurine difluoride and BF3·OEt2. As confirmed by the formation of Te-(μ-BF4)-Te bridges in the structure of [3][BF4]2, [3]2+ functions as a bidentate Lewis acid toward anions. [3][BF4]2 has also been converted into the more exposed [3][BArF24]2 ([BArF24]- = [B(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)4]-). The latter, which readily ionizes Ph3CCl, displays a chloride anion binding constant that exceeds that of a monofunctional model compound by almost 4 orders of magnitude. The unique properties of this new bis-telluronium dication are further highlighted by its ability to activate Ph3PAuCl and cis-(Ph3P)2PtCl2, leading to catalytic systems highly active in the cycloisomerization of propargylamide or enyne substrates.

Abstract
Supramolecular rectangles are built from the 2+2 chalcogen bonding-based (ChB) association of 1,8-bis(telluromethylethynyl)-anthracene (BTMEA) and ditopic Lewis bases such as 4,4'-bipyridyl-ethane and analogs, demonstrating the strength and directionality of the ChB interaction in such alkynyl-telluroalkyl derivatives.

Anion-Anion Interactions in Aerogen-Bonded Complexes. Influence of Solvent Environment. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26082116.

Abstract
Ab initio calculations are applied to the question as to whether a AeX5- anion (Ae = Kr, Xe) can engage in a stable complex with another anion: F-, Cl-, or CN-. The latter approaches the central Ae atom from above the molecular plane, along its C5 axis. While the electrostatic repulsion between the two anions prevents their association in the gas phase, immersion of the system in a polar medium allows dimerization to proceed. The aerogen bond is a weak one, with binding energies less than 2 kcal/mol, even in highly polar aqueous solvent. The complexes are metastable in the less polar solvents THF and DMF, with dissociation opposed by a small energy barrier.

Abstract
Over the last years, scientific interest in noncovalent interactions based on the presence of electron-depleted regions called σ-holes or π-holes has markedly accelerated. Their high directionality and strength, comparable to hydrogen bonds, has been documented in many fields of modern chemistry. The current review gathers and digests recent results concerning these bonds, with a focus on those systems where both σ and π-holes are present on the same molecule. The underlying principles guiding the bonding in both sorts of interactions are discussed, and the trends that emerge from recent work offer a guide as to how one might design systems that allow multiple noncovalent bonds to occur simultaneously, or that prefer one bond type over another.
