You may want to take a look at some of the work by Dougherty and co-workers on the Cation-Pi interaction. Some leading articles are: Cation-Pi Interactions in Chemistry and Biology: A New View of Benzene, Phe, Tyr, and Trp. D.A. Dougherty, Science, (1996), 271, 163-168. Cation-pi Interactions in Simple Aromatics: Electrostatics Provide a Predictive Tool. S. Mecozzi, A. P. West, Jr., D. A. Dougherty, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1996, 118, 2307-2308. Cation-pi Interactions in Aromatics of Biological and Medicinal Interest. Electrostatic Potential Surfaces as a Useful Qualitative Guide. S. Mecozzi, A. P. West, Jr., and D. A. Dougherty, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 1996, 93, 10566-10571. A Mechanism for Ion Selectivity in Potassium Channels: Computational Studies of Cation-pi Interactions. R. A. Kumpf, D. A. Dougherty, Science 1993, 261, 1708-1710.
