Cover Feature: Noncovalent Interactions between Stacked Arenes in 1,8-Bis-(1-naphthyl)-naphthalenes (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 18/2021)

The Cover Feature shows a part of the new buildings at the University of Bologna, dedicated to the Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Departments (“Navile” site), with people interacting in the balconies and trapeze artists in equilibrium. The external design of the site has been the result of balancing laboratories space and architectonic requirements. Analogously, the interactions between two stacked arenes, and the resulting preference for syn and anti-conformations is due to the weighted sum of several factors. The importance of dispersive and electrostatic factors has been analyzed by NMR, circular dichroism and DFT calculations. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Mancinelli et al.
