摘要
The screening of molecular targets benefits from design criteria, which can identify the most promising candidates. We demonstrate that pi-depleted polyaromatic molecules present superior pi-stacking ability. This realization is quantified using a computational criterion, LOLIPOP, that detects ideal pi-conjugated frameworks. The utility of LOLIPOP is illustrated by identifying tailored chemosensors.
