How strong is it ? The determination of bond strength is a nontrivial task with often controversial results. In this viewpoint, the authors make a case for the utilization of generalized compliance constants as valid bond‐strength descriptors for the comparison of next‐neighbor interactions in covalent bonds and for noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds and agostic interactions.
