Matere Bonds vs. Multivalent Halogen and Chalcogen Bonds: Three Case Studies

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...

description 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.
