Lewis acids play a major role in all areas of chemistry. For a long time, toxic, corrosive and
oxidizing SbF5 was considered as the strongest Lewis acid known. Lately, species …

The importance of the selective activation of alkanes for science and technology in the
forthcoming decades does not need to be explicitly pointed out in this thematic issue of …

Superacidic media became famous in connection with carbocations. Yet not all reactive
intermediates can be generated, characterized, and eventually isolated from these Brønsted …

Glycosyl cations are universally accepted key ionic intermediates in the mechanism of
glycosylation, the reaction that covalently links carbohydrates to other molecules. These ions …

Direct electrophilic borylation using Y2BCl (Y2= Cl2 or o-catecholato) with equimolar AlCl3
and a tertiary amine has been applied to a wide range of arenes and heteroarenes. In situ …

Catalytic carbonyl-olefin metathesis reactions have recently been developed as a powerful
