Abstract
Cation-π interactions between various onium salts, alkynes, and acetylene were studied, taking into account the substituents of the triple bond, the nature of the anions, and the polarity of the solvent, through a combination of MP2 calculations and experiments. In an intramolecular setting, these data (including single-crystal X-ray crystallography) concurred with the stability of folded conformers of alkynyl onium salts, even substituted with electron-withdrawing groups. To examine the contribution of these interactions on the alkyne electronic population, a thorough in silico study was carried out using natural bonding orbital analysis of the conformers. Intramolecular interactions from sulfonium salt tethered to phenylalkyne were highlighted, as illustrated above by the computed folded conformation (MP2) along with noncovalent interaction (NCI) analysis. Furthermore, investigations of intermolecular interactions, involving acetylene or phenylacetylene with various onium ions, revealed the high energy interactions of their complexes with phenyldimethylsulfonium chloride, as illustrated above with the complex PhC≡CH/PhMe2SCl (MP2 calculations and NCI analysis).

Abstract
Molecular balances based on the dibenzobicyclo[3.2.2]nonane template enable probing of the competition between halogen-π and CH-π interactions. Structural, NMR spectroscopic, and computational analyses revealed that the π system can favorably interact both with C-X or C-H functionalities, depending on the size of the functional group.

Abstract
To investigate the nature and strength of noncovalent interactions at the fullerene surface, molecular torsion balances consisting of C60 and organic moieties connected through a biphenyl linkage were synthesized. NMR and computational studies show that the unimolecular system remains in equilibrium between well-defined folded and unfolded conformers owing to restricted rotation around the biphenyl C-C bond. The energy differences between the two conformers depend on the substituents and is ascribed to differences in the intramolecular noncovalent interactions between the organic moieties and the fullerene surface. Fullerenes favor interacting with the π-faces of benzenes bearing electron-donating substituents. The correlation between the folding free energies and corresponding Hammett constants of the substituents in the arene-containing torsion balances reflects the contributions of the electrostatic interactions and dispersion force to face-to-face arene-fullerene interactions.

Abstract
In this article, we present crystallographic and spectroscopic evidence of a tunable system wherein a HO···π interaction switches incrementally to a nonconventional OH···π hydrogen bonding (HB) interaction. More specifically, we report the synthesis of substituted forms of model system 1 to study the effects of aryl ring electronic density on the qualitative characteristics of OH···π hydrogen bonds therein. The OH stretch in experimental infrared data, in agreement with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, shows continuous red-shifts as the adjacent ring becomes more electron rich. For example, the OH stretch of an amino-substituted analogue is red-shifted by roughly 50 cm-1 compared to the same stretch in the CF3 analogue, indicating a significantly stronger HB interaction in the former. Moreover, DFT calculations (ωB97XD/6-311+G**) predict that increasing electronic density on the adjacent top ring reduces the aryl π-OH σ* energy gap with a concomitant enhancement of the OH n-π* energy gap. Consequently, a dominant π-σ* interaction in the amino substituted analogue locks the system in the in-form while a favorable n-π* interaction reverses the orientation of the oxygen-bound hydrogen in its protonated form. Additionally, the 1H NMR data of various analogues reveal that stronger OH···π interactions in systems with electron-rich aromatic rings slow exchange of the alcoholic proton, thereby revealing coupling with the geminal proton. Finally, X-ray crystallographic analyses of a spectrum of analogues clearly visualize the three distinct stages of "switch"-starting with exclusive HO···π, to partitioned HO···π/OH···π, and finally to achieving exclusive OH···π forms. Furthermore, the crystal structure of the amino analogue reveals an interesting feature in which an extended HB network, involving two conventional (NH···O) and two nonconventional (OH···π) HBs, dimerizes and anchors the molecule in the unit cell.

Abstract
Chains of hydrogen bonds such as those found in water and proteins are often presumed to be more stable than the sum of the individual H bonds. However, the energetics of cooperativity are complicated by solvent effects and the dynamics of intermolecular interactions, meaning that information on cooperativity typically is derived from theory or indirect structural data. Herein, we present direct measurements of energetic cooperativity in an experimental system in which the geometry and the number of H bonds in a chain were systematically controlled. Strikingly, we found that adding a second H-bond donor to form a chain can almost double the strength of the terminal H bond, while further extensions have little effect. The experimental observations add weight to computations which have suggested that strong, but short-range cooperative effects may occur in H-bond chains.

Abstract
The downfield shift of the NMR signal of the bridging proton in a H-bond (HB) is composed of two elements. The formation of the HB causes charge transfer and polarization that lead to a deshielding. A second factor is the mere presence of the proton-accepting group, whose electron density and response to an external magnetic field induce effects at the position of the bridging proton, exclusive of any H-bonding phenomenon. This second positional shielding must be subtracted from the full observed shift in order to assess the deshielding of the proton caused purely by HB formation. This concept is applied to a number of H-bonded systems, both intramolecular and intermolecular. When the positional shielding is removed, the remaining chemical shift is in much better coincidence with other measures of HB strength.

Abstract
On the basis of many literature measurements, a critical overview is given on essential noncovalent interactions in synthetic supramolecular complexes, accompanied by analyses with selected proteins. The methods, which can be applied to derive binding increments for single noncovalent interactions, start with the evaluation of consistency and additivity with a sufficiently large number of different host-guest complexes by applying linear free energy relations. Other strategies involve the use of double mutant cycles, of molecular balances, of dynamic combinatorial libraries, and of crystal structures. Promises and limitations of these strategies are discussed. Most of the analyses stem from solution studies, but a few also from gas phase. The empirically derived interactions are then presented on the basis of selected complexes with respect to ion pairing, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic contributions, halogen bonding, π-π-stacking, dispersive forces, cation-π and anion-π interactions, and contributions from the hydrophobic effect. Cooperativity in host-guest complexes as well as in self-assembly, and entropy factors are briefly highlighted. Tables with typical values for single noncovalent free energies and polarity parameters are in the Supporting Information.
