Abstract

A supramolecular approach has been used to investigate the free energies of intermolecular aromatic stacking interactions. Chemical double mutant cycles have been used to measure the effect of a range of substituents on face-to-face stacking interactions with phenyl and pentafluorophenyl rings. Electrostatic effects dominate the trends in interaction energy.
