The concept of hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) proved to be useful for rationalizing
stability constants of metal complexes. Its application to organic reactions, particularly …

Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010 Acknowledging the very best in
professional and scholarly publishing, the annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and …

The kinetics of the reactions of 26 primary and secondary amines with benzhydrylium ions in
water were investigated photometrically. Because the parallel reactions of the …

Abstract Benzhydrylium ions (Ar2CH+) and structurally related quinone methides are
employed as reference electrophiles for comparing the nucleophilicities of a large variety of …

Nitro compounds are vital raw chemicals that are widely used in academic laboratories and
industries for the preparation of various drugs, agrochemicals, and materials. Thus, nitrating …

Since the reactions of the colored reference electrophiles with nucleophiles gave rise to
colorless products, the decay of the absorptions of the electrophiles was followed by UV-Vis …

Das Konzept harter und weicher Säuren und Basen (HSAB) erwies sich als nützlich, um die
Stabilitätskonstanten von Metallkomplexen zu erklären. Seine Anwendung auf organische …

The kinetics of the reactions of the ambident 2-and 4-pyridone anions with benzhydrylium
ions (diarylcarbenium ions) and structurally related Michael acceptors have been studied in …

The discovery of vibrant excited-state dynamics and distinctive photochemistry has
established nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as an exhilarating class of organic …

The kinetics of the reactions of tertiary amines, triethylamine (1a), N‐methylpyrrolidine (1b),
