Following up on scattered reports on interactions of conventional chaotropic ions (for
example, I−, SCN−, ClO4−) with macrocyclic host molecules, biomolecules, and …

Non‐covalent interactions play a crucial role in (supramolecular) chemistry and much of
biology. Supramolecular forces can indeed determine the structure and function of a host …

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

The equilibrium association free enthalpies ΔGa for typical supramolecular complexes in
solution are calculated by ab initio quantum chemical methods. Ten neutral and three …

Traditional descriptions of the hydrophobic effect on the basis of entropic arguments or the
calculation of solvent‐occupied surfaces must be questioned in view of new results obtained …

Multivalent interactions can be applied universally for a targeted strengthening of an
interaction between different interfaces or molecules. The binding partners form cooperative …

Supramolecular chemistry is a field of scientific exploration that probes the relationship
between molecular structure and function. It is the chemistry of the noncovalent bond, which …

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which are currently based on the exchange of
Li/Li+ between a graphite (LixC6) anode and an inorganic lithium-transition-metaloxide …

Abstract Cucurbit [n] urils (CBn) bind guest molecules through a combination of electrostatic
interactions with the carbonyl rims and hydrophobic interactions with the inner cavity …

The control over chemical reactivity and selectivity are always pursued. Using non‐covalent
interactions to achieve efficient and selective catalysis is an essential goal of …
