Theoretical bonding analysis is of prime importance for the deep understanding of the various chemical interactions, covalent or not. Among the various methods that have been developed in the last decades, the analysis of the Charge Displacement function (CD) demonstrated to be useful to reveal the charge transfer effects in many contexts, from weak hydrogen bonds, to the characterization of σ hole interactions, as halogen, chalcogen and pnictogen bonding or even in the decomposition of the metal-ligand bond. Quite often, the CD analysis has also been coupled with experimental techniques, in order to give a complete description of the system under study. In this review, we focus on the use of CD analysis on halogen bonded systems, describing the most relevant literature examples about gas phase and condensed phase systems. Chemical insights will be drawn about the nature of halogen bond, its cooperativity and its influence on metal-ligand bond components.

A weak halogen bond, together with charge transfer from a noble gas to Cl2, characterizes the intermolecular interaction between a noble gas atom and Cl2 in a collinear configuration.

A gold(i) complex bearing nitrogen acyclic carbene (NAC) and selenourea (SeU) has been used to verify whether the second-sphere Se⋯I halogen bond (XB) is able to modify the Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson components of the Au–C and Au–Se bonds.

The synthesis of [Au(PF3)2][Sb2F11], the first example of a linear, thermally stable metal bis(trifluorophosphine) complex is achieved by CO substitution of [Au(CO)2][Sb2F11] by PF3. The [Au(PF3)2]+ cation can also be generated by reductive phosphorylation by an excess of PF3 in fluorosulfuric acid. Spectroscopic characterization involves 19F and 31P NMR in HSO3F and SO2 solution including spectral simulation by the WIN-DAISY method and FT-IR and Raman spectra. Spectroscopic evidence suggests that the metal–ligand bond involves predominantly σ-bonding with drastically reduced π-back-donation. Key words: gold(I) complex, linear; gold(I) PF3 complex; 31P NMR; 19F NMR; vibrational spectra.

Quantum calculations on 976 atoms of the voltage sensing domain of the K<sub>v</sub>1.2 channel, with protons in several positions, give energy, charge transfer, and other properties. Motion of the S4 transmembrane segment that accounts for gating current in standard models is shown not to occur; there is H<sup>+ </sup>transfer instead. The potential at which two proton positions cross in energy approximately corresponds to the gating potential for the channel. The charge displacement seems approximately correct for the gating current. Two mutations are accounted for (Y266F, R300cit, cit =citrulline). The primary conclusion is that voltage sensing depends on H<sup>+</sup> transfer, not motion of arginine charges.

Abstract The preparation and characterization of some π-donors with a pyrazine-edge-group as well as with tetrathiapentalene-, thiophene-, and dihydrobenzoselenophene-spacer-groups are de­ scribed. Some of these donors give conducting charge transfer complexes with TCNQ and/or cation radical salts with I3-, BF4-and PF6-as counter anions.
