20th Molecules Webinar

σ-Hole–Based Interactions: Halogen Bonds, Chalcogen Bonds and Beyond

σ-holes are electrophilic regions observed in halogens, chalcogens and many other atoms, allowing them to interact with molecular partners bearing nucleophilic regions. The interactions based on σ-holes are becoming increasingly recognized as significant within the family of noncovalent interactions. Indeed, during the last two decades, the σ-hole-based interactions have found more and more applications in the context of supramolecular chemistry, crystal engineering and catalysis, to name a few.
This webinar, given by three experts in the field, is intended to present a short overview of the importance of σ-hole interactions in chemistry by focusing on selected recent applications.
