Chalcogen Bond. Chalcogen bonding can play a significant role in designing complex bioinspired structures. In their Research Article (e202304202), Gebhard Haberhauer et al. employ two different types of this interaction to construct single and double helices from planar benzotellurazole amides.
Helikale Strukturen auf einer molekularen Ebene werden in der Regel aus nicht‐planaren Einheiten gebildet. Umso faszinierender ist es, Helices ausgehend von planaren Bausteinen durch Selbstorganisation zu generieren. Bislang ist dies jedoch nur selten gelungen, wobei stets Wasserstoff‐ und Halogenbindungen beteiligt waren. Hier zeigen wir, dass das Motiv der Carbonyl‐Tellur‐Wechselwirkung geeignet...
