An explanation is given of the specificity of stacking associations based on suggestions of the contribution of dipole‐induced dipole interactions, which emphasize bond moments as the origin of the polarizing power and polarizability of the π‐electron ring system concerned. This explanation is consistent with our own experimental data and with those of other authors on nucleoside self‐association, the mixed interaction of different nucleic acid constituents, and the interaction of aromatic amino acids with nucleosides, nucleotides, and nucleic acids.
