Abstract:
The Non-Covalent Interactions Atlas (www.nciatlas.org) aims to provide a new generation of benchmark data sets for noncovalent interactions. The HB300SPX data set presented here extends the coverage of hydrogen bonds to phosphorus, sulfur, and halogens up to iodine. It is again complemented by a set of dissociation curves, HB300SPX×10. The new data make it possible to analyze the transferability of the parametrization of, e.g., dispersion corrections for the density functional theory (DFT) from simple organic molecules to a broader chemical space. The HB300SPX×10 has also been used for the extension of the parametrization of hydrogen-bonding corrections in the semiempirical PM6-D3H4X and DFTB3-D3H5 methods to additional elements.

Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....
Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Introduction to Chemical Bonds
The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. The innermost electron shell has a maximum capacity of two electrons, but the next two electron shells can each have a maximum of eight electrons. This is known as the octet rule, which states that, with the exception of the innermost shell, atoms are most stable energetically when they have eight electrons in their valence shell, the...
Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons...
