Abstract
In this study, a series of H-bonded arylamide foldamers bearing benzoselenadiazole ends with solvent-responsive properties have been synthesized. In dichloromethane or dimethyl sulfoxide solvents, the molecules exhibit meniscus or linear structures, respectively, which can be attributed to the unique intramolecular hydrogen bonding behavior evidenced by 1D 1H NMR and 2D NOESY spectra. UV-vis spectroscopy experiments show that the absorption wavelength of H-bonded arylamide foldamers are significantly red-shifted due to the presence of benzoselenadiazole group. In addition, the crystal structures reveal that effective intermolecular dual Se ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ N interactions between benzoselenadiazole groups induce further assembly of the monomers. Remarkably, supramolecular linear and double helices structures are constructed under the synergistic induction of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and intermolecular chalcogen bonding. Additionally, 2D DOSY diffusion spectra and theoretical modelling based on density functional theory (DFT) are performed to explore the persistence of intermolecular Se ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ N interactions beyond the crystalline state.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of α-haloalkyl-substituted pyridinium-fused 1,2,4-selenadiazoles with various counterions is reported herein, demonstrating a strategy for directed supramolecular dimerization in the solid state. The compounds were obtained through a recently discovered 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between nitriles and bifunctional 2-pyridylselenyl reagents, and their structures were confirmed by the X-ray crystallography. α-Haloalkyl-substituted pyridinium-fused 1,2,4-selenadiazoles exclusively formed supramolecular dimers via four-center Se···N chalcogen bonding, supported by additional halogen bonding involving α-haloalkyl substituents. The introduction of halogens at the α-position of the substituent R in the selenadiazole core proved effective in promoting supramolecular dimerization, which was unaffected by variation of counterions. Additionally, the impact of cocrystallization with a classical halogen bond donor C6F3I3 on the supramolecular assembly was investigated. Non-covalent interactions were studied using density functional theory calculations and topological analysis of the electron density distribution, which indicated that all ChB, XB and HB interactions are purely non-covalent and attractive in nature. This study underscores the potential of halogen and chalcogen bonding in directing the self-assembly of functional supramolecular materials employing 1,2,4-selenadiazoles derived from recently discovered cycloaddition between nitriles and bifunctional 2-pyridylselenyl reagents.

Abstract
77Se-NMR is used to characterise several chalcogen bonded complexes of derivatives of the organoselenium drug ebselen, exploring a range of electron demand. NMR titration experiments support the intuitive understanding that chalcogen bond donors bearing more electron withdrawing substituents give rise stronger chalcogen bonds. The chemical shift of the selenium nucleus is also shown to move upfield as it participates in a chalcogen bond. Solid-state NMR is used to explore chalcogen bonding in co-crystals. Due to the lack of molecular reorientation on the NMR timescale in the solid state, the shape of the chemical shift tensor can be determined using this technique. A range of co-crystals are shown to have extremely large chemical shift anisotropy, which suggests a strongly anisotropic electron density distribution around the selenium atom. A single crystal NMR experiment was conducted using one of the co-crystals, affording the absolute orientation of the chemical shift tensor within the crystal. This showed that the selenium nucleus is strongly shielded in the direction of the chalcogen bond (due to the approach of the lone pair of the Lewis base), and strongly deshielded in the perpendicular direction. The orientation of the deshielded axis is consistent with the presence of a second σ-hole which is not participating in a chalcogen bond, showing the profound effect of electron density anisotropy on the chemical shift.

Abstract
Studies of the supramolecular chemistry of iso-tellurazole N-oxides have been confined to non-polar media until now. To overcome that limitation, an iso-tellurazole N-oxide was derivatized with a primary alcohol group; the compound is soluble in polar solvents and stable in acidic to neutral aqueous media. Nickel (II) and iron (II) form macrocyclic complexes with six molecules of that iso-tellurazole N-oxide in a hitherto not-observed macrocyclic arrangement defined by CTe⋅⋅⋅O chalcogen bonds and κ6 -O bound to the metal ion. This behaviour is in sharp contrast with the κn -Te (n=1,2,4) complexes formed by soft metal ions.

Abstract
Chalcogen and pnictogen-based σ-hole interactions have shown limited applications in controlling supramolecular chirality. In this work, we employed chalcogen and pnictogen bonding to control supramolecular chirality in a multiple-constituent system with modulate chiral optics. Phenyl phosphonium-selenium conjugates with electrophilic σ-hole regions were allowed to coassemble with the π-conjugated deprotonated amino acids. Control experimental and computational results evidenced that the chalcogen and pnictogen bonding formed with carboxylates induced morphological transformation from achiral membranes to chiral helical nanotubes with emerging supramolecular chirality. Also, the chiral helical architectures accomplished inverted handedness and chiroptical activities, including circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence. Finally, synergistic chalcogen and pnictogen bonding was employed to stabilize the charge-transfer complexation to afford ternary chiral co-assemblies with evolved chiral optics and luminescence. This work, showing the role of chalcogen and pnictogen bonding in manipulating supramolecular chirality and optics, will expand the toolbox in the fabrication and property-tuning of chiral materials containing elements of Group VA and VIA.

Abstract
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure characterizing a new 4-methylbenzamidinium salt of chloroselenite [C8H11N2][ClSeO2] is reported. This is only the second crystal structure report on a ClSeO2- salt. The structure contains an extended planar hydrogen bond net, including a double interaction with both O atoms of the anion (an R228 ring in Etter notation). The anion has the shortest Se-Cl distances on record for any chloroselenite ion, 2.3202(9) Å. However, the two Se-O distances are distinct at 1.629(2) and 1.645(2) Å, attributed to weak anion-anion bridging involving the oxygen with the longer bond. DFT computations at the RB3PW91-D3/aug-CC-pVTZ level of theory reproduce the short Se-Cl distance in a gas-phase optimized ion pair, but free optimization of ClSeO2- leads to an elongation of this bond. A good match to a known value for [Me4N][ClSeO2] is found, which fits to the Raman spectroscopic evidence for this long-known salt and to data measured on solutions of the anion in CH3CN. The assignment of the experimental Raman spectrum was corrected by means of the DFT-computed vibrational spectrum, confirming the strong mixing of the symmetry coordinate of the Se-Cl stretch with both ν2 and ν4 modes.

Abstract
The [M4 -Hal]- (M=the title compound; Hal=Cl, Br, and I) complexes were isolated in the form of salts of [Et4 N]+ cation and characterized by XRD, NMR, UV-Vis, DFT, QTAIM, EDD, and EDA. Their stoichiometry is caused by a cooperative interplay of σ-hole-driven chalcogen (ChB) and hydrogen (HB) bondings. In the crystal, [M4 -Hal]- are connected by the π-hole-driven ChB; overall, each [Hal]- is six-coordinated. In the ChB, the electrostatic interaction dominates over orbital and dispersion interactions. In UV-Vis spectra of the M+[Hal]- solutions, ChB-typical and [Hal]- -dependent charge-transfer bands are present; they reflect orbital interactions and allow identification of the individual [Hal]- . However, the structural situation in the solutions is not entirely clear. Particularly, the UV-Vis spectra of the solutions are different from the solid-state spectra of the [Et4 N]+ [M4 -Hal]- ; very tentatively, species in the solutions are assigned [M-Hal]- . It is supposed that the formation of the [M4 -Hal]- proceeds during the crystallization of the [Et4 N]+ [M4 -Hal]- . Overall, M can be considered as a chromogenic receptor and prototype sensor of [Hal]- . The findings are also useful for crystal engineering and supramolecular chemistry.

Abstract
In this work, intra- and intermolecular halogen and chalcogen bonds (HlgBs and ChBs, respectively) present in the solid state of nucleic acids (NAs) have been studied at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory. To achieve this, a Protein Data Bank (PDB) survey was carried out, revealing a series of structures in which Br/I or S/Se/Te atoms belonging to nucleobases or pentose rings were involved in noncovalent interactions (NCIs) with electron-rich species. The energetics and directionality of these NCIs were rationalized through a computational study, which included the use of Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) surfaces, the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM), and Non Covalent Interaction plot (NCIplot) and Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) techniques.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the pyridine-substituted benzisoselenazolinone 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzoselenazol-3-one (C12H8N2OSe, 2), related to the antioxidant ebselen [systematic name: 2-phenyl-1,2-benzoselenazol-3(2H)-one, 1], is characterized by strong intermolecular N...Se(-N) chalcogen bonding, where the N...Se distance of 2.3831 (6) Å is well within the sum of the van der Waals radii for N and Se (3.34 Å). This strong interaction results in significant lengthening of the internal N-Se distance, consistent with significant population of the Se-N σ* antibonding orbital. Much weaker intermolecular O...Se chalcogen bonding occurs between the amide-like O atom in 2 and the less polarized C-Se bond in this structure. Charge density analysis of 2 using multipole refinement of high-resolution data allowed the electrostatic surface potential for 2 to be mapped, and clearly reveals the σ-hole at the extension of the Se-N bond as an area of positive electrostatic potential. Topological analysis of the electron-density distribution in 2 was carried out within the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) framework and revealed bond paths and (3,-1) bond critical points (BCPs) for the N...Se-N moiety consistent with a closed-shell interaction; however, the potential energy term is suggestive of electron sharing. Analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) for the strong N...Se and the weak O...Se chalcogen-bonding interactions in the structure of 2 suggest significant electron sharing in the former interaction, and a largely electrostatic interaction in the latter. Conversion of 2 to its N-methylated derivatives by reaction with methyl iodide [1-methyl-3-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzoselenazol-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium iodide, C13H11N2OSe+·I-] and methyl tosylate [1-methyl-3-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1,2-benzoselenazol-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium toluenesulfonate trihydrate, C13H11N2OSe+·C7H7O3S-·3H2O] removes the possibility of N...Se chalcogen bonding and instead structures are obtained where the iodide and tosylate counter-ions fulfill the role of chalcogen-bond acceptors, with a strong I-...Se interaction in the iodide salt and a weaker p-Tol-SO3-...Se interaction in the tosylate salt.

Abstract
The Cloke-Wilson rearrangement is an important method to construct heterocycles which was conventionally facilitated by strong Lewis acids, Brønsted acids and Lewis bases. A weak interaction catalysis approach to the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement remains a challenging topic and yet no example is reported. Herein, a chalcogen bonding catalysis method to achieve the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement is described that involves activation of carbonyl cyclopropanes by double Se⋅⋅⋅O interactions. This chalcogen bonding catalysis approach afforded a wide range of dihydrofurans with good yields, thus establishing an alternative strategy to catalyze the Cloke-Wilson rearrangement.

Abstract
1,3-Bis(benzimidazoliumyl)benzene-based chalcogen-bonding catalysts were previously successfully applied in different benchmark reactions. In one of those examples, i.e. the activation of quinolines, sulfur- and selenium-based chalcogen-bonding catalysts showed comparable properties, which is unexpected, as the selenium-containing catalysts should show superior catalytic properties due to the increased polarizability of selenium compared to sulfur. Herein, we present four crystal structures of the respective 1,3-bis(benzimidazoliumyl)benzene-based chalcogen-bonding catalyst containing sulfur (3S) and selenium (3Se, three forms) as Lewis acidic centres. The sulfur-containing catalyst shows weaker chalcogen bonding compared to its selenium analogue, as well as anion-π interactions. The selenium-based analogues, on the other hand, show stronger chalcogen-bonding motifs compared to the sulfur equivalent, depending on the crystallization conditions, but in every case, the intermolecular interactions are comparable in strength. Other interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and anion-π, were also observed, but in the latter case, the interaction distances are longer compared to those of the sulfur-based equivalent. The solid-state structures could not further explain the high catalytic activity of the sulfur-containing catalysts. Therefore, a comparison of their σ-hole depths from density functional theory (DFT) gas-phase calculations was performed, which are again in line with the previously found properties in the solid-state structures.

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.

Abstract
Through the combination of heterocyclic thiones with variation in the identity of the heterocyclic elements, namely, imidazolidine-2-thione, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercapto-5-methylbenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole, and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole with the common halogen-bond donors 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, 1,3,5-trifluorotriiodobenzene, and tetraiodoethylene, a series of 18 new crystalline structures were characterized. In most cases, N-H...S hydrogen bonding was observed, with these interactions in imidazole-containing structures typically resulting in two-dimensional motifs (i.e. ribbons). Lacking the second N-H group, the thiazole and oxazole hydrogen bonding resulted in only dimeric pairs. C-I...S and C-I...I halogen bonding, as well as C=S...I chalcogen bonding, served to consolidate the packing by linking the hydrogen-bonding ribbons or dimeric pairs.

Abstract
Reactions between bromoselenate(IV)-containing solutions, dibromine and salts of pyridinium-family organic cations resulted in structurally diverse, bromine-rich polybromine-bromoselenates(IV): (4-MePyH)5[Se2Br9][SeBr6](Br3)2 (1), (2-MePyH)2{[SeBr6](Br2)} (2), (PyH)2{[SeBr5]Br(Br2)2} (3), (1-MePy)2{[SeBr6](Br2)} (4). The compounds feature halogen and (in the case of 3) chalcogen bonding in solid state, resulting in formation of supramolecular architectures of different dimensionality. DFT calculations allowed estimation of the energies of non-covalent interactions in 1–4; additionally, characterization by Raman spectroscopy was performed.

Abstract
Recently, chalcogen bonding has been investigated in more detail in organocatalysis and the scope of activated functionalities continues to increase. Herein, the activation of imines in a Povarov [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with bidentate cationic chalcogen bond donors is presented. Tellurium‐based Lewis acids show superior properties compared to selenium‐based catalysts and inactive sulfur‐based analogues. The catalytic activity of the chalcogen bonding donors increases with weaker binding anions. Triflate, however, is not suitable due to its participation in the catalytic pathway. A solvent screening revealed a more efficient activation in less polar solvents and a pronounced effect of solvent (and catalyst) on endo : exo diastereomeric ratio. Finally, new chiral chalcogen bonding catalysts were applied but provided only racemic mixtures of the product.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of a series of supramolecular complexes of bicyclic cationic pyridine-fused 1,2,4-selenodiazoles with various anions is reported. The binding of trifluoroacetate, tetrachloroaurate, tetraphenylborate, perrhenate, and pertechnetate anions in the solid state is regarded. All the anions interact with selenodiazolium cations exclusively via a pair of “chelating” Se⋯O and H⋯O non-covalent interactions, which make them an attractive, novel, non-classical supramolecular recognition unit or a synthon. Trifluoroacetate salts were conveniently generated via novel oxidation reaction of 2,2′-dipyridyl diselenide with bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo)benzene in the presence of corresponding nitriles. Isolation and structural characterization of transient 2-pyridylselenyl trifluoroacetate was achieved. X-ray analysis has demonstrated that the latter forms dimers in the solid state featuring very short and strong Se⋯O and Se⋯N ChB contacts. 1,2,4-Selenodiazolium trifluoroacetates or halides show good solubility in water. In contrast, (AuCl4)−, (ReO4)−, or (TcO4)− derivatives immediately precipitate from aqueous solutions. Structural features of these supramolecular complexes in the solid state are discussed. The nature and energies of the non-covalent interactions in novel assembles were studied by the theoretical methods. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that regards perrhenate and pertechnetate as acceptors in ChB interactions. The results presented here will be useful for further developments in anion recognition and precipitation involving cationic 1,2,4-selenodiazoles.

Abstract
In this work, we report the fabrication of a two-member fluorescence sensor array that enables the assessment of three stages (fresh, slightly spoiled, and moderately or severely spoiled) of meat spoilage. The first member of the array, which has strong chalcogen bonding and sulfur-π interactions with organic sulfides, exhibits very high sensitivity, while the second member of the array, which has weak chalcogen bonding and sulfur-π interactions with organic sulfides, exhibits lower sensitivity. On the basis of the combined fluorescence responses of the two members, three stages of meat spoilage, including fresh, slightly spoiled, and moderately or severely spoiled, can be monitored. Notably, using the volatiles collected from 5 g of meat products over a short period of time (1 min), this two-member sensor array achieves sensitive responses to the organic sulfides emitted from the meats. The capacity of this method to rapidly assess meat freshness facilitates its practical application, as illustrated by the monitoring of the freshness of chicken and pork products in the real world.

Abstract
In contrast to p-quinodimethane tetraesters, which undergo facile polymerization due to their diradical character, newly synthesized 1 and 2 consisting of a chalcogenadiazole fused to a p-naphthoquinodimethane tetraester are thermodynamically stable due to butterfly-shaped deformation. Such a folded molecular structure is also favorable for chalcogen bond (ChB) formation through intermolecular close contacts between a chalcogen atom (E: Se or S) and the oxygen atoms of ester groups in a crystal. The less-explored chelating-ChB through a C=O⋅⋅⋅E⋅⋅⋅O=C contact [Se⋅⋅⋅O: 2.94-3.37 Å] is the key supramolecular synthon for the formation of a one-dimensional rod-like assembly in a crystal, which is commonly observed in selenadiazole-tetraesters (1) with OMe, OEt, and OiPr groups. The formation of inclusion cavities between the rods shows that 1 could serve as solid-state host molecules for clathrate formation, as found in a hexane-solvated crystal. In contrast, thiadiazole-tetraesters (2) are less suitable for the formation of a rod-like assembly since the ChB involving S is less effective, and thus is overwhelmed by weak hydrogen bonds through C-H⋅⋅⋅O contacts.

Abstract
Chalcogenodiazoles have been intensively studied in recent years in the context of their supramolecular chemistry. In contrast, the newly discovered cationic 1,2,4-selenodiazole supramolecular building blocks, which can be obtained via coupling between 2-pyridylselenyl halides and nitriles, are virtually unexplored. A significant advantage of the latter is their facile structural tunability via the variation of nitriles, which could allow a fine tuning of their self-assembly in the solid state. Here, we explore the influence of the substituent (which derives from the nitrile) and counterions on the supramolecular assembly of cationic 1,2,4-selenodiazoles via chalcogen bonding.

Abstract
A novel series of donor (D)-π-acceptor (A) merocyanine molecules harnessed with intramolecular chalcogen bonding (ChaB) is designed, synthesized, and characterized. ChaB comprises periodic chalcogen atoms, S, Se, and Te, and a neighboring oxygen atom of a carbonyl moiety. Compared to the D-π-A merocyanine dye with nontraditional intramolecular hydrogen bonding, the novel molecules with an intramolecular ChaB exhibit remarkably smaller absorption spectral widths and higher absorption coefficients attributed to their cyanine-like characteristics approaching the resonance parameter (c2) ∼0.5; furthermore, they exhibit better thermal stabilities and electrical charge-carrier transport properties in films. These novel D-π-A merocyanines harnessed with intramolecular ChaB networks are successfully utilized in high-performance color-selective organic photon-to-current conversion optoelectronic devices with excellent thermal stabilities. This study reports that the unique intramolecular ChaB plays an essential role in locking the molecular conformation of merocyanine molecules and enhancing the optical, thermal, and optoelectronic properties of high-performance and high-efficiency organic photon-to-current conversion devices.

Abstract
Layered two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures are of current interest, owing to the diversity of their applications in many areas of materials nanoscience and technologies. With this in mind, we have examined the three molecular dimers of the tungsten dichalcogenide series, (WCh2)2 (Ch = S, Se, Te), using density functional theory to provide insight into which interactions, and their specific characteristics, are responsible for the interfacial/interlayer region in the room temperature 2H phase of WCh2 crystals. Our calculations at various levels of theory suggested that the Te···Te chalcogen bonding in (WTe2)2 is weak, whereas the Se···Se and S···S bonding interactions in (WSe2)2 and (WS2)2, respectively, are of the van der Waals type. The presence and character of Ch···Ch chalcogen bonding interactions in the dimers of (WCh2)2 are examined with a number of theoretical approaches and discussed, including charge-density-based approaches, such as the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, interaction region indicator, independent gradient model, and reduced density gradient non-covalent index approaches. The charge-density-based topological features are shown to be concordant with the results that originate from the extrema of potential on the electrostatic surfaces of WCh2 monomers. A natural bond orbital analysis has enabled us to suggest a number of weak hyperconjugative charge transfer interactions between the interacting monomers that are responsible for the geometry of the (WCh2)2 dimers at equilibrium. In addition to other features, we demonstrate that there is no so-called van der Waals gap between the monolayers in two-dimensional layered transition metal tungsten dichalcogenides, which are gapless, and that the (WCh2)2 dimers may be prototypes for a basic understanding of the physical chemistry of the chemical bonding environments associated with the local interfacial/interlayer regions in layered 2H-WCh2 nanoscale systems.

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
The importance of selenium-centered noncovalent chalcogen bonds represented as Se⋅⋅⋅A (A=O/S) has been explored for short directional contacts in small molecules and proteins. In addition, S⋅⋅⋅O centered contacts have been analyzed. Computational analyses involving the quantitative assessment of the associated energetics, the molecular electrostatic potentials (MEP), and electron density derived topological parameters, namely, quantum theory of atom in molecules (QTAIM) analyses, and NBO (natural bond orbital) based calculations, have been performed to unequivocally establish the strength, stability, and attractive role of chalcogen bonds in the solid-state. This investigation has been performed in molecules from both the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and Protein Data Bank (PDB). Thus futuristic materials may be designed keeping in mind the significance of these interactions, including their relevance in biology.

Abstract
While research into deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has expanded over the previous two decades, the focus has remained on the utilization of hydrogen bond donors in these systems. Additionally, the majority of the known DESs rely on at least one ionic component. Through the combination of 1,3-dithiane and 1,2-diiodo-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene (1,2-F4 DIB), we report the first known DES based on halogen bonding. This mixture remains a liquid, with a eutectic melting temperature of 13.7 °C over a range of 1,3-dithiane mole fraction (0.35 to 0.75). Additionally, cocrystals of 1,3- and 1,4-dithiane with 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-F4 DIB, as well as 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene were studied via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These data reveal a wide range of halogen bonding strengths (0.85<RXB <0.99; RXB =normalized halogen bond distance parameter) and geometries about the sulfur atom. By including intermolecular interactions beyond hydrogen bonding, the scope of possible DES systems can be greatly expanded.

Abstract
A series of acyclic anion receptors containing chalcogen bond (ChB) and halogen bond (XB) donors integrated into a neutral 3,5‐bis‐triazole pyridine scaffold are described, in which systematic variation of the electronic‐withdrawing nature of the aryl substituents reveal a dramatic modulation in sigma‐hole donor atom potency for anion recognition. Incorporation of strongly electron‐withdrawing perfluorophenyl units appended to the triazole heterocycle telluro‐ or iodo‐ donor atoms, or directly linked to the tellurium donor atom dramatically enhances the anion binding potency of the sigma‐hole receptors, most notably for the ChB and XB receptors displaying over thirty‐fold and eight‐fold increase in chloride anion affinity, respectively, relative to unfluorinated analogues. Linear free energy relationships for a series of ChB based receptors reveal the halide anion recognition behaviour of the tellurium donor is highly sensitive to local electronic environments. This is especially the case for those directly appended to the Te centre (3⋅ChB), where a remarkable enhancement of strength of binding and selectivity for the lighter halides is observed as the electron‐withdrawing ability of the Te‐bonded aryl group increases, highlighting the exciting opportunity to fine‐tune anion affinity and selectivity in ChB‐based receptor systems.

Abstract
In this work, we report the design of novel fluorophores that bear three benzothiadiazole and benzoselenadiazole groups, respectively, for sensitive detection of trimethyl arsine vapor. In particular, the fluorophore with the benzoselenadiazole groups can form stronger chalcogen bonding with trimethyl arsine than the fluorophore with the benzothiadiazole groups, which in turn triggers much faster and more sensitive fluorescence responses. On the basis of this novel mechanism, fluorescence detection of trimethyl arsine vapor with rapid response (∼3 s), high sensitivity (the theoretical LOD is 0.44 ppb), and high selectivity is achieved on bundled nanofibers from the fluorophore with the benzoselenadiazole groups. Here, the new fluorescence sensor may find wide applications in health and environmental monitoring, arsenic distribution recognition in soil, and arsenic mines exploration.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonding results from non-covalent interactions occurring between electrodeficient chalcogen atoms and Lewis bases. Among the chalcogens, tellurium is the strongest Lewis acid, but Te-based compounds are scarcely used as organocatalysts. For the first time, telluronium cations demonstrated impressive catalytic properties at low loadings in three benchmark reactions: the Friedel-Crafts bromination of anisole, the bromolactonization of ω-unsaturated carboxylic acids and the aza-Diels-Alder between Danishefsky's diene and imines. The ability of telluronium cations to interact with a Lewis base through chalcogen bonding was demonstrated on the basis of multi-nuclear (17 O, 31 P, and 125 Te) NMR analysis and DFT calculations.

Abstract
Through variations in reaction solvent and stoichiometry, a series of S-diiodine adducts of 1,3- and 1,4-dithiane were isolated by direct reaction of the dithianes with molecular diiodine in solution. In the case of 1,3-dithiane, variations in reaction solvent yielded both the equatorial and the axial isomers of S-diiodo-1,3-dithiane, and their solution thermodynamics were further studied via DFT. Additionally, S,S’-bis(diiodo)-1,3-dithiane was also isolated. The 1:1 cocrystal, (1,4-dithiane)·(I2) was further isolated, as well as a new polymorph of S,S’-bis(diiodo)-1,4-dithiane. Each structure showed significant S···I halogen and chalcogen bonding interactions. Further, the product of the diiodine-promoted oxidative addition of acetone to 1,4-dithiane, as well as two new cocrystals of 1,4-dithiane-1,4-dioxide involving hydronium, bromide, and tribromide ions, was isolated.

Abstract
Synthetic anion transporters show much promise as potential anti-cancer agents and therapeutics for diseases associated with mis-regulation of protein anion channels. In such applications high activity and anion selectivity are crucial to overcome competing proton or hydroxide transport which dissipates cellular pH gradients. Here, highly active bidentate halogen bonding and chalcogen bonding anion carriers based on electron deficient iodo- and telluromethyl-triazole derivatives are reported. Anion transport experiments in lipid bilayer vesicles reveal record nanomolar chloride transport activity for the bidentate halogen bonding anion carrier, and remarkably high chloride over proton/hydroxide selectivity for the chalcogen bonding anionophore. Computational studies provide further insight into the role of sigma-hole mediated anion recognition and desolvation at the membrane interface. Comparison with hydrogen bonding analogues demonstrates the importance of employing sigma-hole donor motifs in synthetic anionophores for achieving both high transport activity and selectivity.

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
Utilizing facile one-electron oxidation of 10H-phenothiazine by molecular diiodine, the solid-state structure of the 10H-phenothiazinium radical cation was obtained in three cation:iodide ratios, as well as its THF and acetone solvates. Oxidation of 10H-phenothiazine with molecular diiodine in DMSO or DMF provided the structure of the radical coupling product 10-(3-phenothiazinyldene)phenothiazinium, which has not been crystallographically characterized to date. The radical cations were balanced by a mixture (I7 )- , (I5 )- , (I3 )- , and I- anions, where a variety of chalcogen, halogen, and hydrogen bonding interactions stabilize the structures to reveal these interesting cationic species.

Abstract
While the presence of sulfur⋅⋅⋅π bonding interaction is a general phenomenon in the biological systems, the exploitation of this noncovalent force in a chemical process yet remains elusive. Herein, we describe the concept of chalcogen⋅⋅⋅π bonding catalysis that activates molecules of π systems through the interaction between chalcogen and π-electron cloud. The proof-of-concept studies using a vinylindole-based Diels-Alder benchmark reaction demonstrate that S⋅⋅⋅π and Se⋅⋅⋅π bonding interaction can drive the cycloaddition reaction efficiently. Experimental results suggest that a simultaneously double Se⋅⋅⋅π bonding interaction directs the stereoselectivity in this cycloaddition process.

Abstract
A series of cocrystals of Ph3 P=E (E=O, S, Se) with organoiodines were studied to understand the roles of noncovalent interactions including chalcogen (ChB) and halogen (XB) bonding in their formation. The structure of the cocrystal of Ph3 P=S and 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobezene was determined, which demonstrates a similar chalcogen⋅⋅⋅iodine XB pattern to the previously reported isomorphic Ph3 P=Se structure. The cocrystalline structures resulting from the combination of 1,3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,3-F4 DIB), as well as iodopentafluorobenzene, with all three triphenylphosphine chalcogenides, were also determined. The (Ph3 P=Se) ⋅ (1,3-F4 DIB) cocrystal presents a rare example of a selenium⋅⋅⋅organoiodine ChB. The observed ChB and XB interactions have normalized distance parameters (RXB ) ranging from 0.80 to 0.98. The strength of the XB and ChB interactions were analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) theory, with calculated energies falling between 3.14 kcal/mol and 12.81 kcal/mol.

Abstract
We have quantum chemically analyzed the structure and stability of archetypal chalcogen-bonded model complexes D2 Ch⋅⋅⋅A- (Ch = O, S, Se, Te; D, A = F, Cl, Br) using relativistic density functional theory at ZORA-M06/QZ4P. Our purpose is twofold: (i) to compute accurate trends in chalcogen-bond strength based on a set of consistent data; and (ii) to rationalize these trends in terms of detailed analyses of the bonding mechanism based on quantitative Kohn-Sham molecular orbital (KS-MO) theory in combination with a canonical energy decomposition analysis (EDA). At odds with the commonly accepted view of chalcogen bonding as a predominantly electrostatic phenomenon, we find that chalcogen bonds, just as hydrogen and halogen bonds, have a significant covalent character stemming from strong HOMO-LUMO interactions. Besides providing significantly to the bond strength, these orbital interactions are also manifested by the structural distortions they induce as well as the associated charge transfer from A- to D2 Ch.

Abstract
Multiple supramolecular functionalities of cyclic α-alkoxy tellurium-trihalides (including Te---O, Te---X (X = Br, I) and Te---π(C=C) supramolecular synthons) afford rich crystal packing possibilities, which consequently results in polymorphism or Z’ > 1 crystal structures. Example of three crystal forms of cyclohexyl-ethoxy-tellurium-trihalides, one of which combines the packing of two others, affords a unique model to observe the supramolecular synthon evolution at the early stages of crystallization, when crystals on the way find themself at a carrefour between the evolutionally close routes, but fail to choose between two energetically close packing patterns, so taking the “middle path”, which incorporates both of them (and results in two crystallographically independent molecules). In general, this allows a better understanding of the existing structures, and an instrument to search for the new polymorphic forms.

Abstract
Crystal engineering based on σ-hole interactions is an emerging approach for realization of new materials with higher complexity. Neutral inorganic clusters derived from 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane, substituted with -SeMe, -TeMe, and -I moieties on both skeletal carbon vertices are experimentally demonstrated herein as outstanding chalcogen- and halogen-bond donors. In particular, these new molecules strongly interact with halide anions in the solid-state. The halide ions are coordinated by one or two donor groups (μ1 - and μ2 -coordinations), to stabilize a discrete monomer or dimer motifs to 1D supramolecular zig-zag chains. Crucially, the observed chalcogen bond and halogen bond interactions feature remarkably short distances and high directionality. Electrostatic potential calculations further demonstrate the efficiency of the carborane derivatives, with Vs,max being similar or even superior to that of reference organic halogen-bond donors, such as iodopentafluorobenzene.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonding is important in numerous aspects of chemistry, both in the solid state and in solution. Surveying the literature, it becomes clear that during its rebranding from chalcogen-chalcogen interactions, some parts of the community have somewhat neglected to recall its discovery and the initial studies referring to it in its previous guise. In this Viewpoint, we trace the path of research into this phenomenon, from its discovery, through its renaming, and to some of the varied and interesting chemistry it has led to so far, ranging from crystal engineering through supramolecular assembly to modern catalysis.

Abstract
(C6 F5 )Te(CH2 )3 NMe2 (1), a perfluorophenyltellurium derivative capable of forming intramolecular N⋅⋅⋅Te interactions, was prepared and characterized. The donor-free reference substance (C6 F5 )TeMe (2) and the unsupported adduct (C6 F5 )(Me)Te⋅NMe2 Et (2 b) were studied in parallel. Molecular structures of 1, 2 and 2 b were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and for 1 and 2 by gas-phase electron diffraction. The structure of 1 shows N⋅⋅⋅Te distances of 2.639(1) Å (solid) and 2.92(3) Å (gas). Ab initio plus NBO and QTAIM calculations show significant charge transfer effects within the N⋅⋅⋅Te interactions and indicate σ-hole interactions.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonds are σ hole interactions and have been used in recent years as an alternative to hydrogen bonds. In general, the electrostatic potential at the chalcogen atom and orbital delocalization effects are made responsible for the orientation of the chalcogen bond. Here, we were able to show by means of SAPT calculations that neither the induction (orbital delocalization effects) nor the electrostatic term is causing the spatial orientation of strong chalcogen bonds in tellurium-containing aromatics. Instead, steric interactions (Pauli repulsion) are responsible for the orientation. Against chemical intuition the dispersion energies of the examined tellurium-containing aromatics are far less important for the net attractive forces compared to the energies in the corresponding sulfur and selenium compounds. Our results underline the importance of often overlooked steric interactions (Pauli repulsion) in conformational control of σ hole interactions.

Abstract
Activation of a deep electron-deficient area on chalcogen atoms (Ch=Se, Te) is demonstrated in alkynyl chalcogen derivatives, in the prolongation of the (C≡)C-Ch bond. The solid-state structures of 1,4-bis(methylselenoethynyl)perfluorobenzene (1Se) show the formation of recurrent chalcogen-bonded (ChB) motifs. Association of 1Se and the tellurium analogue 1Te with 4,4'-bipyridine and with the stronger Lewis base 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)piperazine gives 1:1 co-crystals with 1D extended structures linked by short and directional ChB interactions, comparable to those observed with the corresponding halogen bond (XB) donor, 1,4-bis(iodoethynyl)-perfluorobenzene. This "alkynyl" approach for chalcogen activation provides the crystal-engineering community with efficient, and neutral ChB donors for the elaboration of supramolecular 1D (and potentially 2D or 3D) architectures, with a degree of strength and predictability comparable to that of halogen bonding in iodoacetylene derivatives.

Abstract
We present a theoretical study of chalcogen bonded container capsules (AX +AX ) where X=O, S, Se, and Te, and their encapsulation complexes with n-C9 H20 (n-C9 H20 @AX +AX ). Both Se and Te encapsulation complexes have significant experimental and computed binding energies, analogous to the hydrogen bonded counterparts, while the S and O capsules and their encapsulation complexes show only weak binding energies, which are attributed to different types of bonding: chalcogen S⋅⋅⋅N bonds for S-capsules and π-π stacking and weak hydrogen bonds for the O case. All AX +AX and C9 H20 @AX +AX present unusually high magnetic anisotropies in their interiors. The 1 H NMR spectra of the encapsulation complexes display the proton signals of the encapsulated n-nonane highly upfield shifted, in agreement with the available experimental data for the Se capsule. We found that different factors contribute to the observed magnetic anisotropy of the capsule's interior: for the Te capsule the most important factor is Te's large polarizability; for the O analogue the inductive effects produced by the electronegative nature of the O and N heteroatoms; and for the S and Se capsules, the polarizability of the heteroatoms combines with electric field effects.

Abstract
Halogen bonding (XB) interactions are investigated in cation radical salts of bis(methylthio)-5,5'-diiodotetrathiafulvalene (1). Electrocrystallization of 1 in the presence of Bu4 NCl affords a 1 : 1 salt formulated as (E-1)Cl. Particularly strong I⋅⋅⋅Cl- XB interactions are observed around the Cl- anion with the distances at 78 % the sum of the van der Waals radii, a consequence of the XB charge activation in the cation radical. Moreover, the Cl- environment is complemented by two extra S⋅⋅⋅Cl- chalcogen bonding (ChB) interactions, an original feature among reported halide salts of TTF derivatives. Electrostatic potential calculations on the cation radical further demonstrate the efficient activation of the S atoms of the 1,3-dithiole rings (Vs,max =87.2 kcal/mol), as strong as with the iodine atoms (Vs,max =87.9 kcal/mol). The radical cations form weakly dimerized stacks, as confirmed by the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and the weak conductivity (4.8×10-5 S cm-1 ).

Abstract
A series of heteroditopic receptors containing halogen bond (XB) and unprecedented chalcogen bond (ChB) donors integrated into a 3,5-bis-triazole pyridine structure covalently linked to benzo-15-crown-5 ether motifs exhibit remarkable cooperative recognition of halide anions. Multi-nuclear 1 H, 13 C, 125 Te and 19 F NMR, ion pair binding investigations reveal sodium cation-benzo-crown ether binding dramatically enhances the recognition of bromide and iodide halide anions, with the chalcogen bonding heteroditopic receptor notably displaying the largest enhancement of halide binding strength of over two hundred-fold, in comparison to the halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding heteroditopic receptor analogues. DFT calculations suggest crown ether sodium cation complexation induces a polarisation of the sigma hole of ChB and XB heteroditopic receptor donors as a significant contribution to the origin of the unique cooperativity exhibited by these systems.

Abstract
The title compound, C11H9N3OS, (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The mol-ecular conformation is nearly planar and features an intra-molecular chalcogen bond between the thio-phene S and the imine N atoms. Within the crystal, the strongest inter-actions between mol-ecules are the N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which organize them into inversion dimers. The dimers are linked through short C-H⋯N contacts and are stacked into layers propagating in the (001) plane. The crystal structure features π-π stacking between the pyridine aromatic ring and the azomethine double bond. The calculated energies of pairwise inter-molecular inter-actions within the stacks are considerably larger than those found for the inter-actions between the layers.

Abstract
The utilization of neutral receptors for the molecular recognition of anions based on chalcogen bonding (ChB) is an undeveloped area of host-guest chemistry. In this manuscript, the synthesis of two new families of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium-based ChB binding motifs are reported. The stability of the thiophene, selenophene, and tellurophene binding motifs has enabled the determination of the association constants for ChB halide anion binding in the polar aprotic solvent THF by 1 H, 77 Se, and 125 Te NMR experiments. Two different aromatic cores are used and one or two Ch-binding motifs are incorporated with the purpose of encapsulating the anion, offering up to two concurrent chalcogen bonds. Theoretical calculations and NMR experiments reveal that, for S and Se receptors, hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the acidic H atom adjacent to the chalcogen atom are energetically favored over the ChB interaction. However, for the tellurophene binding motif, the σ-hole interaction is competitive and more favored than the hydrogen bond.

Abstract
In the last years the use of chalcogen bonding—the noncovalent interaction involving electrophilic chalcogen centers—in noncovalent organocatalysis has received increased interest, particularly regarding the use of intermolecular Lewis acids. Herein, we present the first use of tellurium‐based catalysts for the activation of a carbonyl compound (and only the second such activation by chalcogen bonding in general). As benchmark reaction, the Michael‐type addition between trans‐crotonophenone and 1‐methylindole (and its derivatives) was investigated in the presence of various catalyst candidates. Whereas non‐chalcogen‐bonding reference compounds were inactive, strong rate accelerations of up to 1000 could be achieved by bidentate triazolium‐based chalcogen bond donors, with product yields of >90 % within 2 h of reaction time. Organotellurium derivatives were markedly more active than their selenium and sulphur analogues and non‐coordinating counterions like BArF4 provide the strongest dicationic catalysts.

Abstract
Halogen (X-bond) and chalcogen bond (Ch-bond) energies for 36 complexes have been obtained at the RI-MP2/def2-TZVP level of theory, involving the heavier halogen and chalcogen atoms (Br, I, Se, Te). We have explored the existence of linear relationships between the interaction energies and the local kinetic energy densities at the bond critical points that characterize the σ-hole interactions (both electronic G(r) and potential V(r) energy densities). Interestingly, we have found strong relationships for halogen and chalcogen bonding energies, especially for the V(r) energy density, thus allowing to estimate the interaction energy without computing the separate monomers. This is also useful to estimate the interaction in monomeric systems (intramolecular X/Ch-bonds), as illustrated using several examples. Remarkably, we have also found a good relationship when in the same representation both halogen and chalcogen atoms are included, thus allowing to use the same empirical correlation for both interactions.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonding is the non‐covalent interaction between Lewis acidic chalcogen substituents and Lewis bases. Herein, we present the first application of dicationic tellurium‐based chalcogen bond donors in the nitro‐Michael reaction between trans‐β‐nitrostyrene and indoles. This also constitutes the first activation of nitro derivatives by chalcogen bonding (and halogen bonding). The catalysts showed rate accelerations of more than a factor of 300 compared to strongly Lewis acidic hydrogen bond donors. Several comparison experiments, titrations, and DFT calculations support a chalcogen‐bonding‐based mode of activation of β‐nitrostyrene.

Abstract
In this short review, we describe different pathways for synthesizing 1,2,3-triazolium macrocycles and focus on their application in different areas of supramolecular chemistry. The synthesis is mostly relying on the well-known "click reaction" (CuAAC) leading to 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles that then can be quaternized. Applications of triazolium macrocycles thus prepared include receptors for molecular recognition of anionic species, pH sensors, mechanically interlocked molecules, molecular machines, and molecular reactors.
