There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

I and i

The relatively small diffuse function-augmented basis set, 3-21+G, is shown to describe anion geometries and proton affinities adequately. The diffuse sp orbital exponents are recommended for general use to augment larger basis sets.

Efficient diffuse function‐augmented basis sets for anion calculations. III. The 3‐21+G basis set for first‐row elements, Li–F

Density functional theory computations have elucidated the mechanism and origins of stereoselectivity in McGlacken's aldol-Tishchenko reaction for the diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-amino alcohols using Ellman's t-butylsulfinimines as chiral auxiliaries. Variations of stereochemical outcome are dependent on the nature of the ketone starting materials used, and the aspects leading to these differences have been rationalized. The intramolecular hydride transfer step is the rate- and stereochemistry-determining step, and all prior steps are reversible.
