TL;DR: Experimental tests of quantum mechanical predictions of the ratio of four stereoisomeric products expected from two complex reactions involving the aldol reactions of cyclohexanone with benzaldehyde or with isobutyraldehyde catalyzed by (S)-proline provide an assessment of the state of the art in quantum mechanical prediction of products of complex organic reactions in solution.

TL;DR: The origins of the distributions of association constants observed for the broad range of host-guest systems are explored, and typical approaches to compute and analyze host-GUest binding in solution are discussed.

TL;DR: Gasses that can affect oxidative stress and that themselves may be radicals are reviewed, fearing that many of the gasses discussed in this review will induce transient adaptive responses in gene expression that enable cells and tissues to survive.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that RC4 and RC5 reactions provide bond separation enthalpies with errors consistently less than 0.4 kcal mol(-1) across a wide range of theoretical levels, performing significantly better than the other reaction types and far superior to atomization routes.
