摘要
Action at a distance: By comparing computational data with a large body of experimental data it is shown that larger molecules are significantly more influenced by intramolecular dispersion energy than smaller ones. Because dispersion is always attractive (energy-lowering) this means that larger molecules are thermodynamically stabilized by dispersion compared to small systems (see graph).
