Weak intermolecular interactions including pi-pi stacking and C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot Cl interactions as well as Cl-pi interactions stabilize the folded structure. In solution, folding is studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy and H-1 and NOESY NMR experiments.}, issn = {0020-1669}, doi = {10.1021/ic400338v}, author = {Cao, Yang and Wolf, Michael O. and Patrick, Brian O.} }
