New classes of acidic or basic ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining special attention, since the
efficiency of many processes can be enhanced by the judicious manipulation of these …

Predicting the reactivity of nucleophilic reaction at different sites has important theoretical
and practical significance. Many prediction methods solely based on the electronic structure …

Low-frequency vibrational modes of biological molecules consist of intramolecular modes,
which are dependent on the molecule as a whole, as well as intermolecular modes, which …

This work reexamined the stereoelectronic basis for the “favored attack trajectories”
regarding the nucleophilic and radical cyclizations of alkynes. In contrast to the original …
