Abstract
The set of TX3-TrX2 (T = C, Si, Ge; Tr = B, Al, Ga; X = F, Cl, Br) molecules offers a rather unique opportunity to study both σ-hole and π-hole dimerization on the tetrel and triel ends, respectively. According to the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution, the π-hole extrema (acidic sites) were more intense than their σ-hole counterparts. The molecules owning the most (CX3-AlX2) and least (SiX3-BX2) intense π-holes were chosen to evaluate their capacities to attract one and two HCN molecules (Lewis bases). We discovered that the energetic characteristics of π-hole dimers severely conflict with the monomers MEP pattern since the weakest π-hole monomer forms a dimer characterized by interaction energy compared to those created by the monomers with noticeably greater power in the π-hole region. This outcome is due to the deformation of the weakest π-hole donor. Furthermore, the MEP analysis for monomers in the geometry of respective dimers revealed a "residual π-hole" site that was able to drive second ligand attachment, giving rise to the two "unusual trimers" examined further by the NCI and QTAIM analyses. Apart from them, the π-hole/π-hole and σ-hole/π-hole trimers have also been obtained throughout this study and described using energetic and geometric parameters. The SAPT approach revealed details of the bonding in one of the "unusual trimers". Finally, Born-Oppenheimer Molecular Dynamics (BOMD) simulations were carried out to investigate the time evolution of the interatomic distances of the studied complexes as well as their stability.

Abstract
In this study, the ability of CF3 groups to bind to the electron-rich side chains and backbone groups of proteins has been investigated by combining a Protein Data Bank (PDB) survey and ab initio quantum mechanics calculations. More precisely, an inspection of the PDB involving organic ligands containing a CF3 group and electron-rich atoms (A = N, O and S) in the vicinity revealed 419 X-ray structures exhibiting CF3⋯A tetrel bonds (TtBs). In a posterior stage, those hits that exhibited the most relevant features in terms of directionality and intermolecular distance were selected for theoretical calculations at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVPD level of theory. Also, Hammett's regression plots of several TtB complexes involving meta- and para-substituted benzene derivatives were computed to shed light on the substituent effects. Moreover, the TtBs were characterized through several state-of-the-art computational techniques, such as the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) and Noncovalent Interactions plot (NCIplot) methodologies. We believe that the results gathered from our study will be useful for rational drug design and biological communities as well as for further expanding the role of this interaction to biomedical applications.

Substituent Effects in Tetrel Bonds Involving Aromatic Silane Derivatives: An ab initio Study. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052385.

Abstract
In this manuscript substituent effects in several silicon tetrel bonding (TtB) complexes were investigated at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory. Particularly, we have analysed how the interaction energy is influenced by the electronic nature of the substituent in both donor and acceptor moieties. To achieve that, several tetrafluorophenyl silane derivatives have been substituted at the meta and para positions by several electron donating and electron withdrawing groups (EDG and EWG, respectively), such as -NH2, -OCH3, -CH3, -H, -CF3 and -CN substituents. As electron donor molecules, we have used a series of hydrogen cyanide derivatives using the same EDGs and EWGs. We have obtained the Hammett's plots for different combinations of donors and acceptors and in all cases we have obtained good regression plots (interaction energies vs. Hammet's σ parameter). In addition, we have used the electrostatic potential (ESP) surface analysis as well as the Bader's theory of atoms in molecules (AIM) and noncovalent interaction plot (NCI plot) techniques to further characterize the TtBs studied herein. Finally, a Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) inspection was carried out, retrieving several structures where halogenated aromatic silanes participate in tetrel bonding interactions, being an additional stabilization force of their supramolecular architectures.

Abstract
The crystal structure of a newly synthesized compound, [PbL(Ac)]2 , (where L=2 (amino(pyrazin-2-yl) methylene) hydrazinecarbothioamide, Ac=acetate anion) exhibits a close contact between pairs of Pb atoms, suggesting a ditetrel bond, in addition to two Pb⋅⋅⋅O tetrel bonds, and two C-H⋅⋅⋅O H-bonds. The presence of this ditetrel bond as an attractive component is confirmed by various quantum chemical methods. This novelty of this particular bond is its existence even in the absence of a σ-hole on the Pb atom, which is typically considered a prerequisite for a bond of this type. From a wider perspective, a survey of the Cambridge Structural Database suggests this bond may be more common than was hitherto thought, with 44 examples of Pb⋅⋅⋅Pb contacts amongst a total number of 219 examples of T⋅⋅⋅T interactions in general (T=Si, Ge, Sn, Pb).

Abstract
Molecules of the type XYT = Ch (T = C, Si, Ge; Ch = S, Se; X,Y = H, CH3, Cl, Br, I) contain a σ-hole along the T = Ch bond extension. This hole can engage with the N lone pair of NCH and NCCH3 so as to form a chalcogen bond. In the case of T = C, these bonds are rather weak, less than 3 kcal/mol, and are slightly weakened in acetone or water. They owe their stability to attractive electrostatic energy, supplemented by dispersion, and a much smaller polarization term. Immersion in solvent reverses the electrostatic interaction to repulsive, while amplifying the polarization energy. The σ-holes are smaller for T = Si and Ge, even negative in many cases. These Lewis acids can nonetheless engage in a weak chalcogen bond. This bond owes its stability to dispersion in the gas phase, but it is polarization that dominates in solution.

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.

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
The ability of two NH3 ligands to engage in simultaneous chalcogen bonds to a hypervalent YF4 molecule, with Y = S, Se, Te, Po, is assessed via quantum calculations. The complex can take on one of two different geometries. The cis structure places the two ligands adjacent to one another in a pseudo-octahedral geometry, held there by a pair of σ-hole chalcogen bonds. The bases can also lie nearly opposite one another, in a distorted octahedron containing one π-hole and one strained σ-hole bond. The cis geometry is favored for Y = S, while Te, and Po tend toward the trans structure; they are nearly equally stable for Se. In either case, the binding energy rises rapidly with the size of the Y atom, exceeding 30 kcal mol-1 for PoF4.
