Do Special Noncovalent π–π Stacking Interactions Really Exist?
Abstract
Van der Waals complexes are formed by almost all neutral molecules, which begs the question as to what is so special about the interaction between parallel stacks of arenes. The term π–π stacking interactions should primarily be used as a structural descriptor for unsaturated systems. Genuine π–π interactions are caused by specific electron correlations that are only at work for short intermolecular distances.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
