| Summary: | Abstract Bioinformatics models illustrate interactions among aromatic rings. Aromatic molecules and groups exist in multiple systems, ranging from biological substances to materials. However, the nature of these non-covalent interactions remains a matter of controversy and uncertainty. This study presents a theoretical approach to uncover the code behind π–π non-covalent interactions using benzene dimers as a prototype. Orbital and electrostatic interactions influence the solid-state conformation of these complexes. Electron delocalization occurs from the donor benzene into the empty lobe of the pz orbital of one carbon atom in the acceptor benzene. The associated charge transfer accounts for the interaction energy between the dimers, functioning like a highly entangled qubit. Additionally, from a quantum–mechanical perspective, the response to an optical radiation field is regarded as an interaction that causes the field to mix the energy levels of the electronic system. Here, we present our analysis of the parallel alignment of aromatic coupling and light–π interactions based on our model of electron pairs in oscillatory resonant quantum states. |
