title: Non-covalent sp(3) carbon bonding with ArCF3 is analogous to CH-π interactions.
abstract: A combined CSD and ab initio study reveals that the interaction between the sp(3) C-atom in para-substituted ArCF3 and electron rich atoms is weak (<5 kcal mol(−1)), somewhat directional, and thus comparable to CH–π interactions.
