Some covalent molecular compounds have higher melting points than expected. Sometimes two molecules that seem similar can have very different properties because of the intermolecular bonds present.

A new study that provides unprecedented insights into the chemical bonding of antimony could have a profound impact on materials research. The collaboration between scientists from Leipzig University, ...

Of particular note is the demonstrably smooth transition between classical covalent bonding and electron-rich multi-center bonding. Covalent bonding is seen, for example, in semiconductors such as ...
