Abstract

Interactions are named based on the interacting moieties and on the mechanism of their interaction. These approaches are independent. The former approach relies on the knowledge of structure alone and the latter requires additional knowledge about electronic structure. Knowledge about the nature of the bonding is additional knowledge; it serves to provide detail and this knowledge should not be used to exclude the naming of the interaction based on structure alone.
