Although carbon is the central element of organic chemistry, oxygen is the central element of
stereoelectronic control in organic chemistry. Generally, a molecule with a C–O bond has …

The ability to bind CO2 through the formation of low-energy, easily-broken, bonds could
prove invaluable in a variety of chemical contexts. For example, weak bonds to CO2 would …

A broad computational analysis of carbon-centered radical formation via the loss of either
CO2 or SO2 from the respective RXO2 radical precursors (X= C or S) reveals dramatic …

We report a Michael-type cyanation reaction of coumarins by using CO2 as a catalyst. The
delivery of the nucleophilic cyanide was realized by catalytic amounts of CO2, which forms …

Although carbon is considered the central element of organic chemistry, the broader
chemical world has one more star player—oxygen. Billions of years of evolution have filled …

Catch me if you can: CO2 is shown to reversibly bind to CN−, forming the elusive
cyanoformate anion, which is on the verge of breakdown. This is a significant finding with …

Abstract The FW (CO) 5− anion was synthesized by photolysis of W (CO) 6 in
tetrahydrofuran solution upon the addition of anhydrous PPNF or nBu 4 NF, and was …

In a very recent article (Chem. Eur. J. 2014, 20, 6636), Olson et al. performed a theoretical
study of the low-lying isomers of Li3N3 and found that two of the most stable structures show …

Fang mich, wenn du kannst: In einer jüngsten Studie wurde gezeigt, dass CO2 reversibel an
CN− bindet und so das schwer fassbare Cyanformiatanion bildet, das am Rande des …
