I was checking your work while you wrote and fully agree: beautiful examples that I'm ashamed to admit I mostly missed.
Which somewhat proves the point that having a common name helps keeping track and finding relevant work (at least from now on).

If you meant that we shouldn't "rebrand" existing phenomena and pretend they weren't know before, I'm fully with you. But I don't think that was/is the intention. Or did I misunderstand your point?

Does chalcogen bonding need a name? That's a philosophical question, but in my view it really helps to scan the literature (try finding chalcogen bonding adducts from earlier times...). Weakish Lewis acids, yes, but so are hydrogen bond donors... ;-)

Yes, I like how the viewing angles combine (by chance)

Thanks to Saber and Richard for the many measurements, to Christoph Held for the very nice cooperation and to our NMR department for their patience!
