Abstract
Compared to canonical weak, nonbonded interactions, the research on the chalcogen bond (CB) is still in its infancy even if it can be easily considered fascinating. In this chapter a brief summary of its application is given. A general introductory section is detailed to place the CB in the context of weak interactions. Then, such nonbonded interactions are considered from the proteomic perspective, followed by a section focused on the chalcogen bond in drug discovery processes. Its impact on organic synthesis is presented together with few examples of chalcogen bond-assisted catalysis. The conclusive section is devoted to the recently reported examples of CBs in material chemistry.
