Non-covalent sp3 carbon bonding with ArCF3 is analogous to CH–π interactions†
Abstract
A combined CSD and ab initio study reveals that the interaction between the sp3 C-atom in para-substituted ArCF3 and electron rich atoms is weak (<5 kcal mol−1), somewhat directional, and thus comparable to CH–π interactions.
