Beyond Size Complementary Factors in Anion - Tetralactam Macrocycle Complexes: from Intrinsic, Gas-Phase to Solvent Predicted Stabilities.

Gas-phase affinities of different types of anions Xˉ (halogen anions, oxoanions, hydrogenated anions) toward a model tetralactam-based macrocycle receptor (1), defined in terms of stability of anio...
