Novel Noncovalent Interactions in Catalysis: A Focus on Halogen, Chalcogen, and Anion-π Bonding

Dedicated to Professor Herbert Mayr on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Abstract

Noncovalent interactions play an important role in many biological and chemical processes. Among these, hydrogen bonding is very well studied and is already routinely used in organocatalysis. This Short Review focuses on three other types of promising noncovalent interactions. Halogen bonding, chalcogen bonding, and anion-π bonding have been introduced into organocatalysis in the last few years and could become important alternate modes of activation to hydrogen bonding in the future.

1 Introduction

2 Halogen Bonding

3 Chalcogen Bonding

4 Anion-π Bonding

5 Conclusions

Key words

noncovalent interactions - catalysis - anion-π interactions - halogen bonding - chalcogen bonding
