TL;DR: A twofold excess of iodoarene in the title reaction leads to ortho-quinols in good yields, whereas organocatalytic versions of this reaction enable subsequent epoxidation in a regio- and diastereoselective fashion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the vibrational assignments of the anion and cation internal vibrations, a prerequisite before any interpretation of spectral changes due to ion-ion interactions in these unconventional liquids, and concluded that this absorption is a general feature of any IL, coming from the relative translational and librational motions of the ions without needing to invoke C((2)H anion hydrogen bonds.

TL;DR: In this article, the conformational dependence of the geometry and the vibrational frequencies of three hydrogen /deuterium (d 0, d 1, d 2 ) isotopomers of nitromethane were investigated.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy that it is possible to investigate the chirality of a supramolecular polymeric system in relatively dilute solutions and the preference for a right-handed chiral arrangement in the helical stacks and the nonplanar orientation of the carbonyl groups present in the molecule.

TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of four enantiopure polyoxometalate-cored dendrimers, which represent the first examples of optically active dendritic POM systems and demonstrate the transfer of chiroptical properties from organic moieties to a catalytically active POM unit.
