Journal ArticleDOI

Revealing noncovalent interactions.

TL;DR: This work develops an approach to detect noncovalent interactions in real space, based on the electron density and its derivatives, which provides a rich representation of van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonds, and steric repulsion in small molecules, molecular complexes, and solids.
Journal ArticleDOI

NCIPLOT: A Program for Plotting Noncovalent Interaction Regions

TL;DR: The NCI computational algorithms and their implementation for the analysis and visualization of weak interactions, using both self-consistent fully quantum-mechanical, as well as promolecular, densities are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurately extracting the signature of intermolecular interactions present in the NCI plot of the reduced density gradient versus electron density.

TL;DR: An attractive feature of the IGM methodology is to provide a workflow that automatically generates data composed solely of intermolecular interactions for drawing the corresponding 3D isosurface representations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are Bond Critical Points Really Critical for Hydrogen Bonding

TL;DR: It is shown that a regional analysis of the reduced density gradient, as provided by the recently introduced Non-Covalent Interactions (NCI) index, transcends AIM theory to deliver a chemically intuitive description of hydrogen bonding for a series of 1,n-alkanediols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Hydrogen-Bond Interaction Potentials from the Electron Density: Integration of Noncovalent Interaction Regions

TL;DR: The recently developed NCI (noncovalent interactions) index will be shown to allow quantitative treatment of hydrogen-bond energetics and follows a well-behaved pattern which, upon integration of the electron density, is capable of mimicking conventional hydrogen- bond interatomic potentials.
