It is widely recognized that the Barbier–Grignard-type reaction is one of the most important methods for forming carbon–carbon bonds and has widespread synthetic applications in modern organic ...

Vicinal dihalides—molecules that feature halogen atoms on adjacent carbons—are useful as flame retardants, as pesticides, and as intermediates en route to polymers and pharmaceuticals. But making ...

It has been suggested that enhanced anion concentrations at the liquid/vapor interface of airborne saline droplets are important to aerosol reactions in the atmosphere. We report ionic concentrations ...

An electric field could make an unlikely nucleophilic substitution reaction feasible by fixing the reactants in place and lowering the reaction energy barrier, according to a theoretical study (J. Am.
