The importance of cation-->aromatic polarization effects on cation-pi interactions has been explored. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that polarization is a large contribution to cation-aromatic interactions, and particularly to cation-pi interactions. For a series of compounds with a similar aromatic core, polarization is constant and makes small influence in the relative cation-binding energies. However, when the aromatic core changes polarization contributions might be very different. We found that the generalized molecular interaction potential with polarization is a very fast and powerful tool for the prediction of cation binding of aromatic compounds.
