Individual solvent/solute interactions through social isomerism.
Reversible coencapsulation of a solute molecule and a single solvent molecule takes place in solution at ambient temperature. Two isomeric complexes are formed (social isomers), and their relative energies are assessed by NMR methods. Intermolecular interactions between 3 aromatic solutes and 15 common solvents are evaluated.
