C?π interaction of non-hydrogen bond type?

New Journal of Chemistry Pub Date: 2011-12-01 DOI: 10.1039/C2NJ20903A

Abstract

An unusual C?π interaction of non-hydrogen bond type has been found for the first time in ethyl (2Z)-2-cyano-3-[(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)amino]prop-2-enoate and is rationalized by ab initio computations as being the result of electrostatic interactions. The database analysis has shown its scarcity.
