Noncovalent interactions are essential for the existence of solid and liquid phases. 1, 2
Traditionally touted as weak forces, quantification of these interactions, which govern the …

Forces to reckon with: Supramolecular complexes, such as the one shown, are normally
based on a combination of different interactions such as ion pairing, hydrogen bonds, and …

The cation− π interaction is an attractive noncovalent interaction between a cation and a π
system. Due to the stronger interaction energy than those of the other π interactions, such as …

Molecular interactions underlie the whole of chemistry and biology. This tutorial review
illustrates the use of rotameric folding molecules, topoisomers, atropoisomers, and …

Cation-π interactions play a vital role in modulating various biological processes, eg,
potassium-selective channel, protein folding and adhesion of marine organism. Previous …

A series of new amphiphilic phosphonium materials that combine the electronic features of
phospholes with self-assembly features of lipids were synthesized. Variable concentration …

Sequential attachment of water molecules to cation− π (Li+− benzene, K+− benzene, and
Mg2+− benzene) systems reveals that the cation− π interaction strength varies in opposite …

Fluorocarbons often have distinct miscibility properties compared to their nonfluorinated
analogues. These differences may be attributed to van der Waals dispersion forces or …

Because of the peculiar dynamic covalent reactivity of boronic acids to form tetraboronate
derivatives, interest in using their aryl derivatives in materials science and supramolecular …

Positively-charged surfaces on implants have a similar potential to upregulate osteogenesis
of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) as electromagnetic therapy …
