Journal ArticleDOI

Electrostatic catalysis of a Diels–Alder reaction

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that the formation of carbon–carbon bonds is accelerated by an electric field, and a fivefold increase in the frequency of formation of single-molecule junctions is found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding atom transfer radical polymerization: effect of ligand and initiator structures on the equilibrium constants.

TL;DR: Equilibrium constants in Cu-based atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were determined for a wide range of ligands and initiators in acetonitrile at 22 degrees C and excellent correlations of the equilibrium constants with the Cu(II/I) redox potentials and the carbon-halogen bond dissociation energies were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A universal approach for continuum solvent pK a calculations: are we there yet?

TL;DR: The results indicate that the direct method is unsuitable for general pKa calculations, although moderately accurate results (MAD <3 units) are possible for certain classes of acids, depending on the choice of solvent model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comment on the correct use of continuum solvent models.

TL;DR: There are a growing number of recent studies that employ alternative approaches to evaluating G soln and this comment aims to highlight some of their shortcomings as well as clarify some potential points of confusion concerning the usage of these models.
