title: Influence of charge repulsion on binding strengths: experimental and computational characterization of mixed alkali metal complexes of decamethylcucurbit[5]uril in the gas phase.
abstract: Theory and experiment demonstrate that Coulombic repulsion plays a dominant role in the strength of binding a second cation to a rigid, ditopic host.
