Abstract

Non-covalent interactions are one of the key topics in coordination and organometallic chemistry. Examples of such weak interactions are hydrogen, halogen, and chalcogen bonds, stacking interactions, metallophilic contacts, etc. Non-covalent interactions play an important role in materials science, catalysis, and medicinal chemistry. The aim of this Special Issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences, entitled "Non-Covalent Interactions in Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry", is to cover the most recent progress in the rapidly growing field of non-covalent interactions in coordination and organometallic chemistry. Both experimental and theoretical studies, fundamental and applied research and any types of manuscripts are welcome for consideration.

Keywords: artificial intelligence; computer modeling; coordination chemistry; machine learning; material science; non-covalent interactions; organometallic chemistry; supramolecular systems.
