TL;DR: It is found that the initiator inhibits the autocatalytic pathway at the outset of the reaction but ultimately provides the imbalance required for asymmetric amplification.

TL;DR: In this paper, reaction progress kinetic analysis is used to analyze complex catalytic reactions, where the rate is expressed in terms of the concentration of substrates and the order in each substrate and in the catalyst.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical population balance model is presented based on considerations of the solubility driving force, as outlined by the Gibbs-Thomson rule, and a frequency factor based on the total interfacial surface area between solid crystals and the solution phase.

TL;DR: It is shown here that because the equilibrium constants in a recycled network are interdependent, it is not valid to neglect all reverse reactions simultaneously; a very low value for the rate constant of one reverse reaction in the network dictates that another reverse Reaction in the same network will exhibit a large rate constant.

TL;DR: The potential role of dimeric catalyst species on or off the catalytic cycle is considered for a case of Pd-catalyzed C–H functionalization, leading to the development of a general experimental protocol that uses the reaction itself to report on the presence and role of Dimeric species in asymmetric catalytic reactions.
