When Counting Electrons Matter: Tuning Noncovalent Interactions with Aromaticity

Aromaticity and hydrogen bonding are traditionally considered to be largely separate ideas in chemistry. We find however, that just as a change in aromaticity can enhance chemical reactivity (e.g., consider the effect of an aromatic transition state on a cycloaddition reaction)—a change in aromaticity can perturb the strengths of hydrogen bonding interactions (and even more exotic types of noncovalent interactions).
