Molecular recognition, binding and catalysis are often mediated by non-covalent interactions
involving aromatic functional groups. Although the relative complexity of these so-called π …

The first systematic study of π interactions between non-aromatic rings, based on the
authors' own results from an experimental X-ray charge-density analysis assisted by …

Chiral nitriles and their derivatives are prevalent in pharmaceuticals and bioactive
compounds. Enantioselective alkene hydrocyanation represents a convenient and efficient …

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, which include π-stacking interactions,
anion-π interactions, and XH− π interactions, among others, are ubiquitous in chemical and …

Molecular recognition and self-assembly are often mediated by intermolecular forces
involving aromatic π-systems. Despite the ubiquity of such interactions in biological systems …

Abstract The well‐known Corey–Bakshi–Shibata (CBS) reduction is a powerful method for
the asymmetric synthesis of alcohols from prochiral ketones, often featuring high yields and …

Metal–organic frameworks that flex to undergo structural phase changes upon gas
adsorption are promising materials for gas storage and separations, and achieving synthetic …

The mechanism of the aryl iodide-catalyzed asymmetric migratory geminal difluorination of β-
substituted styrenes (Banik et al. Science 2016, 353, 51) has been explored with density …

Despite the ubiquity of stacking interactions between heterocycles and aromatic amino acids
in biological systems, our ability to predict their strength, even qualitatively, is limited. On the …

The use of computed interaction energies and distances as parameters in multivariate
correlations is introduced for postulating non-covalent interactions. This new class of …
