Methyl groups as widespread Lewis bases in noncovalent interactions

It is well known that, under certain conditions, C(sp(3)) atoms behave, via their σ-hole, as Lewis acids in tetrel bonding. Here, we show that methyl groups, when bound to atoms less electronegative than carbon, can counterintuitively participate in noncovalent interactions as electron density donor...
