Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the role of hydrogen bonds in molecular recognition and self-assembly in both biological systems and supramolecular chemistry, particularly focusing on how different substituents affect these interactions in AAA-DDD arrays.
- - Evaluations were performed using various analysis methods (topological, energetic, and geometrical) to understand how electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups influence the strength and character of hydrogen bonds in these molecular structures.
- - Findings indicate that electron-withdrawing groups tend to strengthen hydrogen bonds, while electron-donating groups can sometimes increase their strength, revealing some inconsistencies in the local descriptors used to analyze these interactions compared to the more comprehensive energetic evaluations.
