Is there a Japanese word or phrase for the chemistry in a relationship?

And by "relationship", I don't mean a strictly romantic one. It could be the
chemistry between best friends, or even the lack of chemistry when meeting
someone new and feeling like the two of you don't click.

Is there a Japanese word or phrase for the chemistry in a relationship?
I would say that the most versatile counterpart would be 「相性{あいしょう}」. It can
be used in any kind of interpersonal relationships including romantic ones.

We say:

> 「(Person A) + **と** + (Peson B) + **は** + 相性がいい。」 or
>
> 「(Person A) + **と** + (Peson B) + **は** + 相性が悪{わる}い。」

Every once in a while, you will encounter the word 「ケミストリー」, but it is not
very common at all.
