ξ values are in nm; thermodynamic data are in kJ mol−1. The electrostatic components of the interaction energies are reported in parentheses. Square brackets are used for arbitrary ξ values in the case of ligand rejection. Larger ξeq values for (+,N), (−,N), (−,+), and (+,−) are due to solvent-separated binding.
