Supramolecular assembly based on “emerging” intermolecular interactions of particular interest to coordination chemists

An overview of supramolecular assembly sustained by intermolecular contacts pertinent to the coordination chemistry community is presented. Herein, the supramolecular architectures sustained by secondary bonding, encompassing tetrel, pnictogen and chalcogen bonding, interactions occurring between metal centres, metal⋯hydrogen, metal⋯π, main group element(lone pair)⋯π, and finally, those involving chelate rings sustained by formal bonding or by...
