Directional Ionic Bonds
Copyright policy )Directional Ionic Bonds
Covalent and ionic bonds represent two fundamental forms of bonding between atoms. In contrast to bonds with significant covalent character, ionic bonds are of limited use for the spatial structuring of matter because of the lack of directionality of the electric field around simple ions. We describe a predictable directional orientation of ionic bonds that contain concave nonpolar shields around the charged sites. Such directional ionic bonds offer an alternative to hydrogen bonds and other directional noncovalent interactions for the structuring of organic molecules and materials.
