The hydrogen bond is the most important of all directional intermolecular interactions. It is
operative in determining molecular conformation, molecular aggregation, and the function of …

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

A novel definition for the hydrogen bond is recommended here. It takes into account the
theoretical and experimental knowledge acquired over the past century. This definition …

The term “hydrogen bond” has been used in the literature for nearly a century now. While its
importance has been realized by physicists, chemists, biologists, and material scientists …

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 …

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 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 …

Much interest has been evinced on the properties of weakly bound van der Waals
complexes of π-systems because of their utility in diverse fields (Figure 1). 1-14 Theoretical …

Hydrogen bond is a unique interaction whose importance is great in chemical and bio-
chemical reactions including life processes. The number of studies on H-bonding is large …

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 …
