The dissociation energies obtained for the electronic ground state are surprisingly large being D0 = 5.07±0.07 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · benzene, 5.08±0.06 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · d6-benzene, and 6.92±0.03 kcal/mol for 1-naphthol · cyclohexane, respectively. The dissociation energies scale well with the parallel molecular polarizabilities.
