Quantitative studies of the 1 : 1 complexes formed between perfluorohexyl iodide and a variety of hydrogen-bond acceptors have been used to probe the relationship between halogen bonding, hydrogen bonding, desolvation and the electrostatics of non-covalent interactions.

Is chemistry a science without a territory? I argue that "chemical bonding" has been a traditional chemical territory ever since the chemical community amalgamated in the seventeenth century, and even before. The modern charter of this territory is Gilbert Newton Lewis, who started the "electronic structure revolution in chemistry." As a tribute to Lewis, I describe here three of his key papers...

Abstract Dynamic covalent bond-based shape memory polymers (DCB-SMPs) are one of most important SMPs which have a wide potential application prospect. Different from common strong bonds, DCBs own relatively weak bonding energy, similarly to the supramolecular interactions noncovalent and can dynamically combine dissociate these bonds. DCB-SMP solids, be designed respond for different stimuli, p...
