Graphical Abstract
  • temperatures between 253 and 293 K. The resulting rate data are presented in Table 4. The corresponding Eyring plot is shown in Figure 4. The Eyring equation (Equation 2) relates the rate constant for a reaction to the enthalpy and entropy of activation. Replacing the actual rate constant in Equation 2 with
  • k2obs (k2obs = k2[2]x) and rearranging gives Equation 3, which, after taking the logarithm of both sides, gives Equation 4. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH‡) can then be obtained from the slope of the best-fit line from the data plotted in Figure 4 and was found to be 67.8 (±0.2) kJ mol−1. The entropy of

Graphical Abstract
  • ′-substituted tetracycles (Table 1 and Table 2). This drawback can most likely be ascribed to entropy factors and stereoelectronic effects [45][46][47][48]. The structures of the tetracycles 4 were unambiguously assigned by single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. Single crystals for 4a–c were obtained

Graphical Abstract
  • pattern to a carboxylate, so that similar affinities would have been expected. Most likely, the difference is explained by interactions with the π-face of the tetrazolate anion, which are not possible with a carboxylate. In all cases, protein complexation by RAFT polymers was endothermic, i.e., entropy
  • substantially by 1–2 orders of magnitude (see Table 1: T20 vs T20CH15). In other words, the random incorporation of cyclohexyl comonomers into the polymer was beneficial for the protein recognition event. Close inspection of thermodynamic data revealed that the entropy term was responsible for this increased
  • some cases reaching micromolar or sub-micromolar Kd values. Copolymerization with N-cyclohexylacrylamide introduced additional nonpolar groups beneficial for protein binding, leading to a substantial entropy gain and significantly improving protein affinities. The best pair was a bisphosphonate

Graphical Abstract
  • coulombic interactions are around 8 kJ/mol [15]. In aqueous medium ion pair formation is primarily driven by entropy, not directly by coulombic forces [16]. The binding energy is, in general, independent of the geometry, polarizability of the ions or the formation of a salt bridge. In addition, the
  • increase in molecular rigidity by introducing a second macrocyclic ring in the monocyclic pyridino crown ligand. Positive values of entropy changes for 18-NEA interactions, as compared to 19-NEA interactions (which show negative values of entropy changes) suggest a smaller conformational change of ligand

A closer look at transition enthalpies and entropies reveal very small values for 3a and 3b (ΔH = 0.1 kJ·mol−1; ΔS = 0.2 J·K−1·mol−1). Entropy values approaching zero, i.e

Graphical Abstract
  • geometries were optimized at this level for a gas phase model, and corrected for entropy and zero-point energy differences at this level. A separate solvation correction (chloroform) was applied using a continuum model (PCPM) and the larger cc-pV5Z basis set (using pVTZ geometries). Chloroform was studied in
