This perspective describes the recent discovery and investigation of homopolar dihydrogen bonding, and focuses on the identification and characterisation of hydride–hydride interactions in compounds of the main group elements.

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.

An emerging class of compounds, bis(Lewis base)borylenium diradicals with an electron-rich boron(i) center, are potential metal-free catalysts for dinitrogen activation and reduction.
