Abstract

Abstract A supramolecular complex for investigating the thermodynamic properties of intermolecular aromatic stacking interactions has been developed. The conformation of the complex is locked in a single well-defined conformation by an array of H-bonding interactions that force two aromatic rings on one end of the complex into a stacked geometry. Chemical double-mutant cycles have been used to measure an anthracene–aniline ...
