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 past decade has seen unprecedented growth in the development of new chemical
methods that proceed by mechanisms involving radical intermediates. This new attention …

Cytosolic protein delivery is of central importance for the development of protein-based
biotechnologies and therapeutics; however, efficient intracellular delivery of native proteins …

Electric fields underlie all reactions and impact reactivity by interacting with the dipoles and
net charges of transition states, products, and reactants to modify the free energy landscape …

Halogen‐and chalcogen‐based σ‐hole interactions have recently received increased
interest in non‐covalent organocatalysis. However, the closely related pnictogen bonds …

Metal complex catalysis, in which coordination compounds are designed as catalysts for
chemical transformations employing noncovalent interactions, is emerging as a powerful …

Deracemization is an attractive strategy for asymmetric synthesis, but intrinsic energetic
challenges have limited its development. Here, we report a deracemization method in which …

Nanoplastics are emerging pollutants of global concern. Agricultural soil is becoming a
primary sink for nanoplastics generated from plastic debris. The uptake and accumulation of …

We have studied the cation–π interactions of neutral aromatic ligands with the cationic
amino acid residues arginine, histidine and lysine using ab initio calculations, symmetry …

Conspectus The objective of this Account is to summarize the first five years of anion− π
catalysis. The general idea of anion− π catalysis is to stabilize anionic transition states on …
