N2 - Triel bonding interactions involve group 13 elements (boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, thallium) serving as the electron acceptor in noncovalent interactions. This chapter delves into the distinctive nature of triel atoms as electron acceptors and their inclination towards forming such bonding interactions, specifically focusing on boron-centered triel bonding. Through a comprehensive examination encompassing geometric, energetic, orbital, and topological analyses of the electron density, we unravel the intrinsic factors driving the electron-accepting capabilities of triel atoms. Moreover, we investigate the broader implications of these interactions across various research domains. We elucidate the invaluable role of such unique interactions in crystal engineering, catalysis, and materials design. By exploring the versatility and applicability of the triel bonding interactions, we unveil their potential to revolutionize diverse scientific endeavors.
