Abstract

It is proposed that noncovalent interactions, wherein it is possible to identify an element or moiety working as the electrophile, are named by referring to the Group of the Periodic Table the electrophilic atom belongs to. The resulting terminology generalizes a criterion which was used in the recent IUPAC definition of halogen bond and inspired the definition of hydrogen bond. A systematic, unambiguous, and periodic naming is obtained and applies to the majority of the attractive interactions formed by the elements of Groups 1, 2, 13-17 and, possibly, to some interactions formed by the elements of other Groups.
