Nanoscale π–π stacked molecules are bound by collective charge fluctuations

Attractive, non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings—termedπ−πstacking—is common in chemistry but difficult to model. Here the authors report a quantum-mechanical model to show the importance of collective charge fluctuations for understanding pi-stacked supramolecular systems.
