Desolvation and substituent effects in edge-to-face aromatic interactions.
Experimental measurements of aromatic edge-to-face interaction energies in both molecular torsion balances and supramolecular zipper complexes can be reliably estimated using a simple electrostatic solvation model and alpha/beta H-bond constants.
