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. |
