A pi stacking interaction between tacrine (blue) and Trp84 (red) is proposed. Pi stacking is prevalent in protein crystal structures, and also contributes to the interactions between small molecules and proteins. As a result, pi–pi and cation–pi interactions are important factors in rational drug design. [24]
π–π stacking is a noncovalent interaction between the pi bonds of aromatic rings. [12] Such "sandwich interactions" are however generally electrostatically repulsive. What is more commonly observed are either a staggered stacking (parallel displaced) or pi-teeing (perpendicular T-shaped) interaction both of which are electrostatic ...
In chemistry, π-effects or π-interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that involves π systems.Just like in an electrostatic interaction where a region of negative charge interacts with a positive charge, the electron-rich π system can interact with a metal (cationic or neutral), an anion, another molecule and even another π system. [1]
Cation–π interaction between benzene and a sodium cation. Cation–π interaction is a noncovalent molecular interaction between the face of an electron-rich π system (e.g. benzene, ethylene, acetylene) and an adjacent cation (e.g. Li +, Na +). This interaction is an example of noncovalent bonding between a monopole (cation) and a ...
These non-covalent interactions include van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, Coulomb or ionic interactions, π-π stacking, metal coordination, halogen bonding, chalcogen bonding, and host–guest interaction. [1] Their behavior can be described by the theories of polymer physics in dilute and concentrated solution, as well as in the ...
Cation–pi interactions can be as strong or stronger than H-bonding in some contexts. [3] [20] Anion–π interactions are very similar to cation–π interactions, but reversed. In this case, an anion sits atop an electron-poor π-system, usually established by the presence of electron-withdrawing substituents on the conjugated molecule [21 ...
Molecular self-assembly is a key concept in supramolecular chemistry. [6] [7] [8] This is because assembly of molecules in such systems is directed through non-covalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, pi-stacking interactions, and/or electrostatic) as well as electromagnetic interactions.
