Participation of S and Se in hydrogen and chalcogen bonds
Steve Scheiner
Abstract
The heavier chalcogen atoms S, Se, and Te can each participate in a range of different noncovalent interactions. They can serve as both proton donor and acceptor in H-bonds. Each atom can also act as electron acceptor in a chalcogen bond.
