Molecular balances are unique tools , which are used for the experimental measurements of the strength of weak noncovalent interactions. However, even a carefully designed balance can often show several different noncovalent interactions making it difficult to selectively characterise the one of interest. In this Review, molecular balances previously explored and existing challenges in the quest for the optimal balance are discussed. For more information, see the Review by A. E. Aliev and W. B. Motherwell on page 10516 ff.
