Abstract
A detailed study of the electric deflection of molecular beams of (C6H6)2, (C6F6)2, and C6H6–C6F6 is reported. Although no resolved microwave or radio frequency transitions were observable, examination of unresolved beam transitions at radio frequencies were useful in establishing that the homomolecular dimers (C6H6)2 and (C6F6)2 are asymmetric rotors while the heteromolecular dimer C6H6–C6F6 is a symmetric top. From analysis of the quantitative electric deflection the dipole moment of C6H6–C6F6 is 0.44±0.04 D.

Estimates of the Ab Initio Limit for π−π Interactions: The Benzene Dimer

TL;DR: In this article, the binding energies of the benzene dimer were investigated at the second-order Moller−Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) level, and it was shown that more modest basis sets such as aug-cc-pVDZ are sufficient for geometry optimizations of intermolecular parameters.

Highly Accurate Coupled Cluster Potential Energy Curves for the Benzene Dimer: Sandwich, T-Shaped, and Parallel-Displaced Configurations

TL;DR: In this paper, state-of-the-art electronic structure theory has been applied to generate potential energy curves for the sandwich, T-shaped, and parallel-displaced configurations of the simplest prototype of aromas.

London Dispersion in Molecular Chemistry—Reconsidering Steric Effects

TL;DR: This Review collects and emphasizes the importance of inter- and intramolecular dispersion for molecules consisting mostly of first row atoms and forces us to reconsider the authors' perception of steric hindrance and stereoelectronic effects.

Understanding of assembly phenomena by aromatic-aromatic interactions: benzene dimer and the substituted systems.

TL;DR: The presence of substituents on the aromatic ring, irrespective of their electron withdrawing or donating nature, leads to an increase in the binding energy, and the displaced-stacked conformations are more stabilized than the T-shaped conformers, which explains the wide prevalence of displaced stacked structures in organic crystals.

Substituent Effects in π−π Interactions: Sandwich and T-Shaped Configurations

TL;DR: In this article, coupled-cluster theory was used to investigate how substituents tune π−π interactions between substituted sandwich dimers and T-shaped configurations of benzene dimers.

The Structure of Water Dimer from Molecular Beam Electric Resonance Spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used electric resonance spectroscopy (ES) to study hydrogen-bonded water dimers, generated in a supersonic nozzle, and found that the resulting structure is consistent with a linear hydrogen bond and the proton acceptor tetrahedrally oriented to the hydrogen bond.
