Aromaticity/aromatic and substituent/substituent effects belong to the most commonly used terms in organic chemistry and related fields. They are used for more than a century, and so far are the subject of thousands publications a year. The quantitative description of the aromaticity of planar π-electron cyclic molecules is based on four criteria: (i) they are more stable than their acyclic unsaturated analogues, (ii) bonds have intermediate lengths between those for the single and double ones, (iii) external magnetic field induces π-electron ring current, and (iv) aromatic systems prefer reactions in which the π-electron structure is preserved. conserved. Quantitative characteristics based on these criteria, named as aromaticity indices, allow to relate aromaticity to the substituent effect. This latter can be described using either traditional Hammett-type substituent constants or characteristics based on quantum-chemistry. For this purpose, the energies of properly designed homodesmotic reactions and electron density distribution are used. In the first case, a descriptor named SESE (substituent effect stabilization energy) is obtained, while in the second case – cSAR (charge of the substituent active region), which is the sum of the charge of the ipso carbon atom and the charge of the substituent. The application of these substituent effect descriptors to a set of π-electron systems, such as: benzene, quinones, cyclopenta- and cyclohepta-dienes, as well as some azoles, allowed to draw the following conclusions: (i) The less aromatic the system, the stronger the substituent influences the π-electron system. Highly aromatic systems are resistant to the substituent effect, in line with the organic chemistry experience that aromatic compounds dislike reactions leading to changes in the π-electron structure of the ring. (ii) Intramolecular charge transfer (resonance effect) is privileged in cases where the number of bonds between the electron-attracting and electron-donating atoms is even. These effects are much weaker when this number is odd. Classically, it may be related to traditional para vs meta substituent effects in benzene derivatives. We should note that in electron-accepting groups, such as CN or NO2 (and others), electron-accepting atoms are second counting from Cipso. (iii) In all cases, when the substituent changes number of π-electrons in the ring in the direction of 4N+2, its aromaticity increases, for example electron-donating substituents in exocyclic substituted pentafulvene, or a halogen atom in complexes with heptafulvene.

The main idea of the current review is to present methods useful to characterize the strength of individual hydrogen bonds in nucleic acids base-pairs. In the paper, the Authors discuss the energy definition of intermolecular interactions taking into account the presence of one intermolecular hydrogen bond (HB) as well as the situation when several intermolecular interactions (namely intermolecular hydrogen bonds) are present. In the Section 2 of the review a general overview of methods developed to estimate the strength of the individual intermolecular hydrogen bond in DNA/RNA base-pairs is presented. Thus, the reader can find detailed information on the methods used so far: the rotational method (2003), compliance constants method (2004), the EML equation application (2006), the atom replacement method (2007), the estimation of hydrogen bond energy on the basis of electron density (calculated by using the AIM theory) at BCP values (2009), the application of NBO method (2010), the comparison of HB strength based on the last two approaches (2015) and the application of coordinates interaction approach (2017). It should be emphasized, that these methods allow to estimate the strength of intermolecular interactions both in the model base-pairs and in other systems with several intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The discussion of the presented methods is supported by Tables 1-10, containing numerical values characteristics of the strength of the particular HB, and Figures 1–2. The section 3 contains a critical comparison of results based on the presented methods. Concluding remarks are given in the last Section.
