The Chalcogen Bond:From Concept Formation to Practical Application
The early synthesis of chalcogen bond containing material and the discovery of the structure of chalcogen bond lay the foundation for the formation of the concept of chalcogen bond.Since the 1990s,the exploration of the electrophilic and nucleophilic properties of chalcogen atoms has led to a profound understanding of the nature of chalcogen bond,which has contributed to the formation of the concept of chalcogen bond.Since chemists developed supramolecular self-assembly and anion recognition functions of chalcogen bond in 2002 and 2010 respectively,people began to pay attention to the application of chalcogen bond in solids and solutions.As people pay more attention to the new intermolecular forces,chalcogen bond will be paid more and more attention and its application will have a broader prospect.
