Abstract
The term "wolfium bond" has been recently introduced to describe the noncovalent attraction between an atom of group 6 and a nucleophile via a σ-hole binding site. Crystal structures commonly contain a motif wherein two MX4Y units are arranged in close proximity, where M represents either Mo or W, and X and Y refer to halogen and chalcogen atoms respectively. DFT calculations were thus applied to a wide range of homodimers of these molecules so as to assess their preferred arrangements, and to characterize the types of bonding that are present in each in a systematic manner. The most stable Dual-X configuration is symmetric and contains a pair of equivalent M⋯X bonds. The interaction energies range from -8 to -29 kcal mol-1, and are largest for X = F, Y = O, and M = W. The X electron donor is replaced by Y, and the two wolfium bonds are reduced to one, in the less stable Mono-Y structure, with interaction energies between -2 and -10 kcal mol-1. There is some question as to whether the weaker bonds of this type constitute true wolfium bonds.

Robust Supramolecular Dimers Derived from Benzylic-Substituted 1,2,4-Selenodiazolium Salts Featuring Selenium⋯π Chalcogen Bonding. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314973.

Abstract
The series of benzylic-substituted 1,2,4-selenodiazolium salts were prepared via cyclization reaction between 2-pyridylselenyl chlorides and nitriles and fully characterized. Substitution of the Cl anion by weakly binding anions promoted the formation supramolecular dimers featuring four center Se2N2 chalcogen bonding and two antiparallel selenium⋯π interactions. Chalcogen bonding interactions were studied using density functional theory calculations, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces, the quantum theory of atoms-in-molecules (QTAIM), and the noncovalent interaction (NCI) plot. The investigations revealed fundamental role of the selenium⋯π contacts that are stronger than the Se⋯N interactions in supramolecular dimers. Importantly, described herein, the benzylic substitution approach can be utilized for reliable supramolecular dimerization of selenodiazolium cations in the solid state, which can be employed in supramolecular engineering.

Matere Bonds vs. Multivalent Halogen and Chalcogen Bonds: Three Case Studies. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27196597. [PMID: 36235133 PMCID: PMC9571139 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27196597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
The term matere bond has been recently used to refer to an attractive noncovalent interaction between any element of group 7 acting as an electrophile and any atom (or group of atoms) acting as a nucleophile. The utilization of metals such as σ-hole donors is starting to attract the attention of the scientific community. In this manuscript, a comparison between matere bonds and well-known σ-hole interactions (halogen and chalcogen bonds) is carried out using three X-ray structures, retrieved from the Cambridge structural database (CSD), and density functional theory calculations (DFT). The novelty of this work resides in the utilization of a neutral Re(VII) system as the matere bond donor and multivalent chalcogen and halogen donors. In fact, as far as our knowledge extends, the description of σ-hole interactions in Se(VI) is unprecedented in the literature. The σ-hole interactions in Re(VII), Se(VI) and Cl(VII) electron acceptors are analyzed and compared using several computational tools.
