title: Directionality of π-holes in nitro compounds.
abstract: A statistical survey of the Cambridge Structural Database reveals that the interaction between the π-holes of nitro groups and electron-rich atoms is somewhat directional. High-level ab initio computations indicate energies up to -6.6 kcal mol(-1).
