A comprehensive experimental survey consisting of 36 molecular balances was conducted to compare 18 pairs of S-pi versus O-pi interactions over a wide range of structural, geometric, and solvent parameters. A strong linear correlation was observed between the folding energies of the sulfur and oxygen balances across the entire library of balance pairs. The more stable interaction systematically switched from the O-pi to S-pi interaction. Computational studies of bimolecular PhSCH3-arene and PhOCH3-arene complexes were able to replicate the experimental trends in the molecular balances. The change in preference for the O-pi to S-pi interaction was due to the interplay of stabilizing (dispersion and solvophobic) and destabilizing (exchange-repulsion) terms arising from the differences in size and polarizability of the oxygen and sulfur atoms.
