Deriving General Energy Predictors for Pnictogen Bonding.
A comprehensive quantum chemical study is presented to derive energetic predictors for pnictogen (Pn) bonding interactions. We analyzed the interaction energies of the Lewis acids PnF3 and F2PnX, where Pn represents nitrogen through bismuth and X represents chlorine, bromine, or iodine, acting as σ-hole donors with a d...
