Resumo
Intermolecular interactions are often referred to as non-covalent interactions. PnB, ChB, XB, and HB are significantly covalent in nature based on our quantitative KS-MO theory.
We challenge the commonly accepted, and purely electrostatic, sigma-hole model.
This model treats bond donors as a 2D surface with electrostatic potential.
Also, the bond acceptor is a point charge, which is far from the physical reality. "Non-Covalent Interaction" should be, thus, replaced by "Intermolecular Covalent Interaction".

Hi Sara, thank you!
Our analyses are completely based on quantitative KS-MO theory in combination with canonical energy decomposition analysis. Then, we establish causal relationships between the phenomena we observe and physically meaningful terms. On the other hand, topological analyses of the electron density provide indicators used to trace empirical correlations, lacking a consistent understanding of good or bad correlations.
For instance, covalency, which comprises the electron-pair bonding or donor-acceptor orbital interactions, is well defined in our method by the relaxation of the anti symmetrized product wavefunction between two fragments. That is, how much is the orbital stabilizations due to the interaction between occupied and empty orbitals. The gradients of the electron density between chemical bonds do not necessarily translate these effects, especially for not considering orbital interactions. As such, it provides only a qualitative, instead of quantitative, picture of intermolecular interactions. In my opinion, it turns out to be unnecessary and just makes the argumentation weaker.
