Nonetheless, the interaction mechanism in C-G hybrids should be driven by Van der Waals forces derived from π-conjugation of corroles interacting with graphene in a parallel displaced πstacking. With this in mind, the non-covalent interactions were explored using the independent gradient model to characterize the dispersive driving force pictorially (Fig. and Fig. ). The regions of strong stabilization [red colored for sign(λ2)ρ negative values] are mainly located below fluorine, and H-π interactions form stabilizing interactions, while subtle stabilizing regions are located below copper and nitrogen atoms that belong to CuN4 core (Fig. ). Conversely, repulsive interactions [blue colored for sign(λ2)ρ positive values] between Cu-N bonds and graphene are observed, and especially the most intense steric repulsion is observed between twisted phenyl group and graphene nanosheet in C5-G hybrid.
