Understanding the delicate balance between nucleophilicity and electrophilicity is fundamental to rationalising reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. Nucleophilic reactivity describes a molecule’s ...

Understanding the factors contributing to reactivity trends is a fundamental skill that underpins chemists’ ability to design and develop new reactions. One of the factors that students learn about ...

The atmospheric chemistry of hydroxyl radicals and gas‐phase reactions is central to our understanding of air quality and climate dynamics. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH), often described as the “atmospheric ...

I read with considerable interest the editorial “ ‘No Excuses’ for the Future of Green Chemistry” (C&EN, June 2/9, 2025, page 2) and the first installment of the new column on green chemistry, “The ...
