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

The functional properties of molecular systems are generally determined by the sum of many
weak non-covalent interactions, and therefore methods for predicting the relative …

Favorable molecular interactions between group 16 elements have been implicated in
catalysis, biological processes, and materials and medicinal chemistry. Such interactions …

The emergent properties that arise from self-assembly and molecular recognition
phenomena are a direct consequence of non-covalent interactions. Gas-phase …

A series of N-pyridyl ureas bearing 1, 2, 4-(1a, 2a, and 3a) and 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole moiety
(1b, 2b, 3b) was prepared and characterized by HRMS, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as …

The experimental isolation of H‐bond energetics from the typically dominant influence of the
solvent remains challenging. Here we use synthetic molecular balances to quantify …

Despite the ubiquity of stacking interactions between heterocycles and aromatic amino acids
in biological systems, our ability to predict their strength, even qualitatively, is limited. On the …

To explore a new supramolecular interaction as the main driving force to induce hierarchical
self-assembly (HSA) is of great importance in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we present …

The hydrophobic effect plays a central role in determining the structure, activity, and
properties of biomolecules and materials. In contrast, the general manifestation of this …

The goal of this study was to experimentally test the additivity of the electrostatic substituent
effects (SEs) for the aromatic stacking interaction. The additivity of the SEs was assessed …
