“…This same phenomenon occurs on a divalent chalcogen Y atom, but each of its two RY bonds leads to a separate σ-hole, and a logical extension provides three σ-holes around a Z pnicogen atom in its ZR 3 configuration. Recent works [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] have also included tetrel atoms T (C and Si, etc.) in this category, as the tetravalent TR 4 molecule has four σ-holes, so could, at least in principle, participate in as many as four simultaneous tetrel bonds.…”
