The Cation−π Interaction

Ma, Jennifer C., Dougherty, Dennis A.·1997·Chemical Reviews

Abstract

Noncovalent interactions play a dominant role in \nmany forefront areas of modern chemistry, from \nmaterials design to molecular biology. A detailed \nunderstanding of the physical origin and scope of \nsuch interactions has become a major goal of physical \norganic chemistry. Compared to the more conventional \ninteractions such as hydrogen bonds, ion pairs \n(salt bridges), and the hydrophobic interaction, the \ncation-π interaction has been relatively underappreciated. \nIt is not a new effect-experimental support \nfor a prominent interaction in the gas phase \nappeared more than 15 years ago, and the potential for such an interaction has always been evident from \nan electrostatic analysis of benzene.

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.
