implicated as playing a major role in modulating electrostatic interactions via through-space and polarization effects, but these phenomena are often hard to dissect. By using synthetic molecular torsionbalances and a simple explicit solvation model, we demonstrate that the solvation of substituents substantially affects the electrostatic potential of aromatic rings. Although polarization effects are
