Unconventional contacts in aqueous solutions of substituted aromatics: Evidence for lone pair-? hole and lone pair-hole in the liquid state.

Abstract: Intermolecular interactions between aromatics and water are ubiquitous in biological, physical and chemical sciences, as they underpin drug development, drug/ligand binding, and molecular recognition. In addition, aromatics/water contacts contribute significantly to the stabilization of supramolecular structures, playing a critical role in protein folding. The presence of functional groups strongly affects the solubility and reactivity of aromatics in water by introducing hydrogen-bonding moieties, which affect the interaction with water and modify the ring electron density. Here we request to run the remaining compositions to complete the series of phenol/water solutions, to have a consistent set of isotopically distinct samples for publication.
