Journal ArticleDOI

S66: A Well-balanced Database of Benchmark Interaction Energies Relevant to Biomolecular Structures.

TL;DR: A large new database of interaction energies calculated using an accurate CCSD(T)/CBS scheme is presented, designed to cover the most common types of noncovalent interactions in biomolecules, while keeping a balanced representation of dispersion and electrostatic contributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization and structure calculations for noncovalent interactions in extended molecular systems based on wave function and density functional theories.

TL;DR: In the past 20 years, there has witnessed an enormous growth of interest in the fast and accurate calculation of intermolecular interactions, particularly with beyond-SCF methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

σ-Holes, π-holes and electrostatically-driven interactions

TL;DR: While the electrostatic interaction is a major driving force in π-hole bonding, a gradation is found from weakly noncovalent to considerably stronger with possible indications of some degree of coordinate covalency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigations into the Nature of Halogen Bonding Including Symmetry Adapted Perturbation Theory Analyses.

TL;DR: One of the most important findings in this study is that, according to symmetry adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) analyses, halogen bonds are largely dependent on both electrostatic and dispersion type interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Halogen bond tunability I: the effects of aromatic fluorine substitution on the strengths of halogen-bonding interactions involving chlorine, bromine, and iodine

TL;DR: It is seen that the substitution of fluorines in systems containing smaller halogens results in electrostatic potentials resembling those of systems with larger halogens, with correspondingly stronger interaction energies, and it is shown that aromatic fluorine substitutions affect the optimal geometries of the halogen-bonded complexes.
