Organic chemists tend to consider the conformation of compounds as a consequence of
repulsive steric interactions. In other words,“the steric effect” means “repulsive” in many …

The concept of allosteric proteins was developed in the early 1960s by Monod1 and
Koshland. 2 Allosteric is derived from the Greek root allo, meaning “the other”. The binding …

The CH/π hydrogen bond is an attractive molecular force occurring between a soft acid and
a soft base. Contribution from the dispersion energy is important in typical cases where …

The nature and characteristics of the CH/π interaction are discussed by comparison with
other weak molecular forces such as the CH/O and OH/π interaction. The CH/π interaction is …

This treatise is an update to a preceding highlight (CH/π hydrogen bonds in crystals)
published in this journal 5 years ago (M. Nishio, CrystEngComm, 2004, 6, 130–156). After …

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Supramolecular Chemistry offers authoritative, centralized
information on a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. User-friendly and high-quality …

This article presents a systematic review of the coordination chemistry of calix [4] arenes,
which have been functionalised at the lower rim and are in the cone conformation. Particular …

Cooperative effects in the binding of two or more substrates to different binding sites of a
receptor that are a result of a conformational change caused by the binding of the first …

Spatial distribution of CH hydrogen atoms with reference to a six-membered carbon
aromatic ring was analyzed in the crystal structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural …

A statistical study was carried out to investigate the role of the CH/π interaction in the crystal
structure of transition metal compounds. Thus, short CH/π distances were surveyed in crystal …
