High-valent metal–oxo species with multiply-bonded M–O groups have been proposed as
key intermediates in many biological and abiological catalytic oxidation reactions. These …

Driven by functionality and purity demand for applications of inorganic nanoparticle colloids
in optics, biology, and energy, their surface chemistry has become a topic of intensive …

We summarize here the research advances on the reactivity of metal clusters. After a simple
introduction of apparatuses used for gas-phase cluster reactions, we focus on the reactivity …

Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be
addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal‐mediated …

Abstract Hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT), as one of the fundamental reactions in chemistry, is
investigated with state‐of‐the‐art gas‐phase experiments in conjunction with computational …

Since the advent of intense cluster sources, physical and chemical properties of isolated
metal clusters are an active field of research. In particular, gas phase metal clusters …

In the present review we describe the emerging tendency for creating target-oriented
analytical approaches designed to solve important chemical tasks by using a combination of …

This Perspective discusses a story of one molecule (methane), a few metal-oxide cationic
clusters (MOCCs), dopants, metal-carbide cations, oriented-electric fields (OEFs), and a …

Abstract “Give us insight, not numbers” was Coulson's admonition to theoretical chemists.
This Review shows that the valence bond (VB)‐model provides insights and some good …

Saturated hydrocarbons, or alkanes, are major constituents of natural gas and oil. Directly
transforming alkanes into more complex organic compounds is a value-adding process, but …
