Stabilizing Fluorine–π Interactions

A series of N-arylimide molecular balances were designed to study and measure fluorine–aromatic (F–π) interactions. Fluorine substituents gave rise to increasingly more stabilizing interactions with more electron-deficient aromatic surfaces. The attractive F–π interaction is electrostatically driven and is stronger than other halogen–π interactions. Attractive fluorine: The F–π interaction between a fluorine substituent and an aromatic surface was measured by using a series of molecular balances. This interaction was found to be slightly repulsive with electron-rich surfaces but strongly attractive with electron-poor and cationic surfaces.
