Formic acid dimers represent a paradigmatic model for studying the intricacies of hydrogen bond dynamics. When two formic acid molecules associate through dual hydrogen bonds, they form a stable ...

C–H bond breakers seek smarter tools Chemists want to selectively take apart any C–H bond in an organic molecule and install something new. How can they expand their C–H activation toolboxes?

OVER the past ten years, numerous examples of ‘short’ intermolecular distances between a carbon atom with at least one hydrogen atom attached to it and an oxygen atom have appeared in papers ...

Thermosalient materials, which are organic or metal–organic analogs of martensitic solids, exhibit rapid mechanical responses triggered by a change in temperature. Although methods have been developed ...

Photoinduced acceptorless dehydrogenative cross-coupling between the benzylic C(sp3)–H bonds of N-benzylanilines and the allylic C(sp3)–H bonds of alkenes was developed through the combined use of an ...
