Supramolecular Assemblies Based on Electrostatic Interactions

Abstract

Elements belonging to Groups 14–17 and Periods 3–6 frequently act as Lewis acids which are able to establish directional noncovalent interactions (NCI) with a variety of Lewis bases (lone pair donors), π-systems (aromatic rings, triple and double bonds) and non-nucleophilic anions (BF4–, PF6–, ClO4–, etc.). These promising NCIs are named in general as σ-hole interactions that are subdivided as tetrel bonds for elements belonging to group 14, pnictogen bonding for group 15, chalcogen bonding for group 16, and halogen bonding for group 17. In general, σ-hole interactions offer differentiating features when moving down in the same group (larger and more positive σ-holes) or moving left in the same row (number of available σ-holes and directionality) of the periodic table. This chapter shows that Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP) surface calculation is a powerful tool to explain the solid-state architecture of many X-ray structures. This is exemplified by using many examples retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), especially focused on σ-hole interactions.
