Understanding the mechanisms of chemical reactions, especially catalysis, has been an
important and active area of computational organic chemistry, and close collaborations …

Relativistic effects can strongly influence the chemical and physical properties of heavy
elements and their compounds. This influence has been noted in inorganic chemistry …

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

Background: Silver ions block ethylene perception yet support ethylene binding to Ethylene
Receptor 1 (ETR1). Results: Loss of ETR1 reduces the effects of silver while loss of the other …

Precisely controlling the microstructure of supported metal catalysts and regulating metal‐
support interactions at the atomic level are essential for achieving highly efficient …

We present selected examples of gas-phase reactions which are of timely interest for the
activation of small molecules. Due to the very nature of the experiments, detailed insight in …

The C–H bond activation of methane mediated by a prototypical heteronuclear metal-oxide
cluster,[Al2Mg2O5]•+, was investigated by using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance …

The oxidative addition of anilines (2) with 1, 4-naphthoquinone (3) to give N-aryl-2-amino-1,
4-naphthoquinones (1) was found to be catalyzed by copper (II) acetate. In the absence of …

Konzeptionelle Überlegungen zu und mechanistische Aspekte von vier scheinbar einfachen
chemischen Umsetzungen, die in der Chemie von Methan von Bedeutung sind, werden in …

A novel silver-coated solid-phase microextraction fiber was prepared based on electroless
plating technique. Good extraction performance of the fiber for model compounds including …
