A new supramolecular complex precisely measures weak aromatic stacking interactions. This method accurately quantifies binding thermodynamics, even with aggregation issues, revealing attractive and repulsive forces.

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Physical Organic Chemistry
  • Thermodynamics

Background:

  • Investigating intermolecular forces, particularly aromatic stacking, is crucial in chemistry.
  • Quantifying weak interactions requires precise experimental systems.
  • Understanding these forces informs molecular design and self-assembly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a supramolecular complex for accurately measuring thermodynamic properties of intermolecular aromatic stacking.
  • To quantify specific interactions like anthracene-aniline and pentafluorophenyl-aniline.
  • To assess the robustness of the chemical double-mutant cycle approach in complex systems.

Main Methods:

  • Design and synthesis of a conformationally locked supramolecular complex using hydrogen bonding.

  • Application of chemical double-mutant cycles to measure interaction energies.
  • Analysis of aggregation and conformational equilibria effects on thermodynamic measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully developed a supramolecular complex with a defined conformation favoring stacked aromatic rings.
    • Measured weak interactions: anthracene-aniline (+0.6 ± 0.8 kJ/mol) and pentafluorophenyl-aniline (-0.4 ± 0.9 kJ/mol).
    • Observed attractive pentafluorophenyl-aniline and repulsive anthracene-aniline interactions, consistent with pi-electron electrostatics.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed supramolecular system enables robust thermodynamic analysis of weak aromatic interactions.
    • The chemical double-mutant cycle method demonstrates resilience against aggregation and conformational complexities.
    • Findings provide insights into the nature of pi-electron electrostatic contributions to stacking interactions.
