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

Abstract Structure‐based ligand design in medicinal chemistry and crop protection relies on
the identification and quantification of weak noncovalent interactions and understanding the …

This review on continuum solvation models has been preceded in Chemical Reviews by
others addressing the same subject. They are due to Tomasi and Persico1 (published in …

The hydrophobic effect—the tendency for oil and water to segregate—is important in diverse
phenomena, from the cleaning of laundry, to the creation of micro-emulsions to make new …

Intermolecular interactions involving aromatic rings are key processes in both chemical and
biological recognition. Their understanding is essential for rational drug design and lead …

Molecular Driving Forces, Second Edition E-book is an introductory statistical
thermodynamics text that describes the principles and forces that drive chemical and …

Oil and water do not mix. The disaffinity of oil for water, with its unusual temperature
dependence, is called the hydrophobic effect. It is important to understand the factors …

We model ion solvation in water. We use the MB model of water, a simple two-dimensional
statistical mechanical model in which waters are represented as Lennard-Jones disks …

Lead generation is a major hurdle in small-molecule drug discovery, with an estimated 60%
of projects failing from lack of lead matter or difficulty in optimizing leads for drug-like …

Hydrophobicity manifests itself differently on large and small length scales. This review
focuses on large-length-scale hydrophobicity, particularly on dewetting at single …
