Chemical Bonds: A Special Issue in Honor of Prof. Giuseppe Resnati

Submission deadline: 30 September 2025

This special issue of Coordination Chemistry Reviews honors the distinguished career of Professor Giuseppe Resnati, whose pioneering contributions to organic, coordination, and supramolecular chemistry have significantly advanced the field. His extensive work, comprising numerous high-impact publications, has been instrumental in elucidating the role of weak interactions in chemical systems. Beyond his research achievements, Professor Resnati has played a crucial role in the standardization of chemical bonding terminology, serving as chair of the IUPAC Task Group responsible for defining several fundamental interactions, including:

• Definition of the Halogen Bond (IUPAC Recommendations 2013)

https://doi.org/10.1351/PAC-REC-12-05-10

• Definition of the Chalcogen Bond (IUPAC Recommendations 2019)

https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2018-0713

• Definition of the Pnictogen Bond (IUPAC Recommendations 2023)

https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2020-1002

This special issue serves as a tribute to Professor Resnati’s legacy by featuring cutting-edge research that aligns with his influential work, spanning fundamental studies to practical applications.
