Analogies between the mechanisms of electrophilic substitution and nucleophilic
substitution have been discussed. Theoretical calculations, involving aromaticity …

A series of dithienylethene (DTE) photoswitches with aza‐heteroaromatic cationic moieties
is synthesized. The switches are characterized regarding their photochemical and …

Myers-Saito cycloaromatization (MSC) is the working mechanism of many natural enediyne
antibiotics with high antitumor potency. However, the presence of the equilibrium between …

A portable reagent inlet system for a linear quadrupole ion trap (LQIT) mass spectrometer
was designed to diminish the impact of air and water on gas-phase ion–molecule reactions …

The reactivity of a carbon‐centered σ, σ, σ, σ‐type singlet tetraradical containing two meta‐
benzyne moieties, the 2, 4, 5, 7‐tetradehydroquinolinium cation, was examined in the gas …

Selective C1–H/C4–H carbonylation of N-methylene iminium salts, catalyzed by visible-light
photoredox and oxygen in the air, has been reported. A ruthenium complex acts as a …

Tandem mass spectrometry based on diagnostic gas-phase ion–molecule reactions
represents a robust method for functional group identification in unknown compounds. To …

Examination of the reactions of σ‐type quinolinium‐based triradicals with cyclohexane in the
gas phase demonstrated that the radical site that is the least strongly coupled to the other …

The vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen (VNS) reaction in electron-deficient
nitroquinolines was studied. Properties of all new products have been characterized by …

The work described herein is related to gas-phase ion-molecule reactions studied by using
mass spectrometry. Chapter 2 describes density functional theory, a method used in …
