“…This can be attributed to the presence of additional stabilizing non- covalenti nteractions compared to the other conformations, as seen by comparing the corresponding NCI plots [57,93,94] in Figure 3b and through ac omparative AIM analysis (Figure 3c). [90,[95][96][97][98] More precisely,t he NCI plots show greater density of favorable non-covalent interactions (green patches) for Trans(re) comparedt oi ts counterpart. This is corroborated by the stronger (a, b, e, f, g, j) and additional (c, d) non-covalent contacts, successfully captured by AIM analysis.…”
