TL;DR: The calculations suggest that the C-I and C-Br halogen bonds play an important role in controlling the structures of molecular assemblies, that theC-Cl bonds play a less important role and that C-F bonds have a negligible impact.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a previously unexplored approach to separation of enantiomers via formation of diastereomeric derivatives with three stereogenic centers has obvious practical potential and deserves further systematic study.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that self-disproportionation of enantiomers via achiral chromatography can be recommended as inexpensive and general method for optical purification of enantomerically enriched compounds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the racemic form of isopropyl 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanoate (1) sublimed faster regardless of the starting enantiomeric composition.

TL;DR: Batch radical homopolymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and its copolymerizations with seven fluorinated comonomers such as H2C═CRACF3 (where RA stands for H, F, CO2R (R = H or tBu) or F2C+CFRB (RB: H, CF3, OCF3) initiated by •CF3 radical generated from a perfluoro-3-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-3 -pentyl persistent radical (PPFR) are presented as discussed by the authors
