Nonbonded Interaction: The Chalcogen Bond

New Frontiers in Organoselenium Compounds

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.
