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 CH/p interaction 1,† is the weakest extreme of hydrogen bonds 2, 3 that occurs between
a soft acid (CH) and a soft base (p-system) 4, 5 in the context of Pearson's HSAB principle …

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 …

Recently reported high-level ab initio calculations and gas phase spectroscopic
measurements show that the nature of CH/π interactions is considerably different from …

A systematic electronic structure analysis of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding), anion–π+ and
π+–π+ interactions present in [C1C1im] Cl ion-pairs (IPs) and selected [C1C1im] 2Cl2 IP …

The accurate CH/π interaction energy of the benzene− methane model system was
experimentally and theoretically determined. In the experiment, mass analyzed threshold …

Recent gas phase measurements and high level ab initio calculations of the CH/π
interactions show that the nature of the CH/π interactions is significantly different from …

High-level ab initio calculations at the CCSD (T)/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/aug (d, p)-6-311G (d, p)
level were employed to investigate the cooperative CH/π effects between the π face of …
