Association constants (M−1) of monomeric DAN and NDI in their self-association or complementary association in various solvents.
| Solvent | DAN:NDI | NDI:NDI | DAN:DAN |
|---|---|---|---|
| D2O | 2045 | 245 | 20 |
| CD3OD | 30 | 8 | 1 |
| CD3CN | 11 | 3 | 1 |
| DMSO-d6 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Acetone-d6 | 8 | 1 | 1 |
| CDCl3 | 2 | negligible | negligible |
Shaded data provides evidence for desolvation as a driving force for association. Boxed data provides evidence for an electrostatic driving force. Adapted with permission from J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2001, 123, 7560-7563. Copyright 2001 American Chemical Society.
