摘要
The energy (Delta G) of a cationic CH center dot center dot center dot pi interaction was measured experimentally through the conformational studies of new molecular torsion balances using proton NMR spectroscopy. Each of the molecular balance adopted folded and unfolded conformations for which the ratio of the conformational equilibrium (i.e., folded/unfolded ratio) provided a quantitative measure of the Delta G as a function of solvation. An excellent linear solvation energy relationship between the Delta G values and the Hunter's solvent hydrogenbond parameters (alpha(s) and beta(s)) revealed that electrostatic interaction is the physical origin of the observed conformational preferences in solution.
