London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals
potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element …

Conspectus Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), consisting of laterally fused benzene
rings, are among the most widely studied small-molecule organic semiconductors, with …

The ten year old Houk–List model for rationalising the origin of stereoselectivity in the
organocatalysed intermolecular aldol addition is revisited, using a variety of computational …

The development of post-Hartree–Fock (post-HF) energy decomposition schemes that are
able to decompose the HF and correlation components of the interaction energy into …

Abstract Die London'sche Dispersion, die den attraktiven Teil des Van‐der‐Waals‐
Potentials beschreibt, wurde lange als Element struktureller Stabilität in der molekularen …

We report the synthesis and characterization of “bistetracene”, an unconventional, linearly
extended conjugated core with eight fused rings. The annellation mode of the system allows …

The manipulation of the steric nature of ligands is a key design principle in organometallic
reactivity. While general intuition assumes steric effects to be repulsive, recent reports …

Large substituents are commonly seen as entirely repulsive through steric hindrance. Such
groups have additional attractive effects arising from weak London dispersion forces …

The long-known, ubiquitously present, and always attractive London dispersion (LD)
interaction was probed with hexaphenylethane (HPE) derivatives. A series of all-meta …

A highly soluble pyrene‐fused undecacene is realized by end‐capping the rectilinear
aromatic π‐plane with triptycenylene units. Besides the good solubility, the compound …
