The past two decades have witnessed a significant growth of interest in supramolecular interactions in which a group-16 atom acts as an electrophilic centre. This chapter provides an overview of the uses of chalcogen bonding interactions in supramolecular chemistry, including a basic bonding description. It highlights key literature examples of the influence of this interaction in molecular architectures, and examples of its application in tailoring the lattices and properties of molecular crystals, anion recognition, and transport across membranes, and the construction of complex non-covalent assemblies stable in solution. |
