On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential
noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses …

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings such as π-stacking, cation/π, and anion/π
interactions are central to many areas of modern chemistry. Decades of experimental …

It has become common to reference “pi-stacking” forces or “pi–pi interactions” when
describing the interactions between neighbouring aromatic rings. Here, we review …

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, which include π-stacking interactions,
anion-π interactions, and XH− π interactions, among others, are ubiquitous in chemical and …

Popular explanations of substituent effects in π-stacking interactions hinge upon substituent-
induced changes in the aryl π-system. This entrenched view has been used to explain …

Fundamental features of biomolecules, such as their structure, solvation, and crystal packing
and even the docking of drugs, rely on noncovalent interactions. Theory can help elucidate …

Molecular recognition and self-assembly are often mediated by intermolecular forces
involving aromatic π-systems. Despite the ubiquity of such interactions in biological systems …

This Account describes how attractive interactions of aromatic rings with other groups can
influence and control the stereoselectivity of many reactions. Recent developments in theory …

The hydrogen bond enhanced halogen bond (HBeXB) has recently been used to effectively
improve anion binding, organocatalysis, and protein structure/function. In this study, we …

Metal–organic frameworks that flex to undergo structural phase changes upon gas
adsorption are promising materials for gas storage and separations, and achieving synthetic …
