Journal ArticleDOI
A halogen bond-donor amino acid for organocatalysis in water
Greta Bergamaschi,Luisa Lascialfari,Andrea Pizzi,Maria Isabel Martinez Espinoza,Nicola Demitri,Alberto Milani,Alessandro Gori,Pierangelo Metrangolo +7 more
TL;DR: A halogen bond-donor amino acid, 4-iodotetrafluorophenylalanine, is reported, which behaves as a catalyst for the aqueous synthesis of bis-(heterocyclic)methanes and provides experimental evidence that halogen bonding is a plausible explanation for the observed catalytic effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Electrostatic Potential and Noncovalent Interactions in Derivatives of Group 8 Elements
Giuseppe Resnati,Andrea Daolio,Andrea Pizzi,Miriam Calabrese,Giancarlo Terraneo,Simone Bordignon,Antonio Frontera +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, experimental and theoretical evidences of σ-hole interactions in adducts between nitrogen or oxygen nucleophiles and tetroxides of osmium or other group 8 elements were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anion⋅⋅⋅Anion Interactions Involving σ-Holes of Perrhenate, Pertechnetate and Permanganate Anions.
TL;DR: In this article, the matere bond (MaB) was proposed to categorize these noncovalent interactions and differentiate them from the classical metal-ligand coordination bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halogen bonding modulates hydrogel formation from Fmoc amino acids
Andrea Pizzi,Luisa Lascialfari,Nicola Demitri,Arianna Bertolani,Daniele Maiolo,Emiliano Carretti,Pierangelo Metrangolo,Pierangelo Metrangolo +7 more
TL;DR: The single crystal X-ray structures of a series of p-halogenated Fmoc phenylalanines highlight the role of halogen bonding in their supramolecular organization in the solid state as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anion⋅⋅⋅Anion Coinage Bonds: The Case of Tetrachloridoaurate
Andrea Daolio,Andrea Pizzi,Giancarlo Terraneo,Maurizio Ursini,Antonio Frontera,Giuseppe Resnati +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the distorted octahedral geometry of the bonding pattern around the gold center is rationalized on the basis of the anisotropic distribution of the electron density, which enables gold to behave as an electrophile (π-hole coinage-bond donor).
