FIGURE 7.

Distribution of T-shaped interactions involving various interacting atoms/groups of the vertical base, with respect to the vertical distance (Å) between ring centers ( $\text{[math]}$ ). As designed, the distance between the interacting atom/group and the center of the horizontal base is always smaller than $\text{[math]}$ , which is defined as the centroid-to-centroid distance between the interacting ring systems.
