Abstract

An in-depth analysis of the distribution of anions about planar six-membered rings in the Cambridge Structural Database reveals anion-π interactions with charge-neutral π systems to be extremely rare in crystal structures. The predominant interaction motif is C-H · · · anion hydrogen bonding.
