The consideration of the disposition of minima of electron density and electrostatic potential along the line between non-covalently bound atoms in systems with Hal···CH₃⁻Y (Hal = Cl, Br; Y = N, O) fragments allowed to prove that the carbon atom in methyl group serves as an electrophilic site provider. These interactions between halide anion and carbon in methyl group can be categorized as the typical tetrel bonds. Statistics of geometrical parameters for such tetrel bonds in CSD is analyzed. It is established that the binding energy in molecular complexes with tetrel bonds correlate with the potential acting on an electron in molecule (PAEM). The PAEM barriers for tetrel bonds show a similar behavior for both sets of complexes with Br and Cl electron donors.

Ability of the Spectroscopic Properties of the P═Se Bond of a Base to Assess Noncovalent Bond Strength.

The viability of the P═Se bond to serve as a monitor of the strength of a noncovalent bond was tested in the context of the (CH)PSe molecule. Density functional theory (DFT) computations paired this base with a collection of Lewis acids that spanned hydrogen, halogen, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bonding interactions and covered a wide range of bond strengths. A very strong linear correlation was observed between the interaction energy and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) J(PSe) coupling constant, which could serve as an accurate indicator of bond strength.

Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated interaction energy through comparisons with spectroscopic data, geometric properties, and other factors to uncover correlations, particularly focusing on the C═O stretching frequency and nuclear magnetic resonance changes.
- * While the interaction energy can be estimated from experimental measurements, standard AIM measurements correlate less effectively, and the σ-hole depth on the Lewis acid does not strongly relate to bond strength due to the limitations of electrostatic metrics.

Halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonds in organocatalysis have gained noticeable attention. In this work, carbon-bromide bond activation in the Ritter reaction by bidentate imidazole-type halogen, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bond donors was studied by density functional theory. All of the above four kinds of catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance.

Understanding and exploring the existence of a recognizable boundary between the noncovalent tetrel bond (TtB) and the coordination or weakened covalent bond are important for the bonding characterization. We have developed a simple methodology for analysing the type of bonds based on comparison of the electrostatic and total static potentials along the bond line. For the typical σ-hole noncovalent bond formed by a Tt atom in a tetrahedral molecule, we have found that the space gap between positions of the maxima of the total static potential and the negative quantity of electrostatic potential is much wider than that for the coordination bonds in a trigonal bipyramid molecular system for the Cl-Tt/Cl⋅⋅⋅Tt and N-Tt/N⋅⋅⋅Tt (Tt=C, Si, Ge) bonds in molecules and molecular complexes.

NMR spectral and theoretical analyses of homologous prolyl carbamates reveal subtle charge transfer tetrel bonding interactions (TBIs), selectively stabilizing their Pro rotamers. These TBIs involve C-terminal-amide to N-terminal carbamate carbonyl-carbonyl (n → π* type) followed by intra-carbamate (n → σ* type) charge transfer interactions exclusively in the Pro motif. The number of TBIs and hence the Pro stability increase with increasing number of C groups at the carbamate alcohol.
