Vessel-Controlled Chemodivergence Meets Vinylcyclopropane–Cyclopentene Rearrangement
Our work reveals that the vessel itself dictates product selectivity: switching between glass and plastic enables chemodivergent Rh-catalyzed enantioconvergent rearrangement of vinyl gem-difluorocyclopropanes to cyclopentenones or gem-difluorocyclopentenes.
Surveying the chemistry of pest-controlling fungi.
Fungi can be efficient as control agents against plant-pathogenic fungi and insects. But we know little about how they function. As a result, their use presents several challenges, ranging from inconsistent efficacy to concerns about potential negative effects on crops.
Mass Scaling of Quantum Tunnelling in Hydrogen Bonds: From Analytical Models to Multidimensional Quantum Dynamics
We develop an analytical–numerical framework for quantum tunnelling in hydrogen bonds, revealing a universal scaling law where tunnelling splitting depends exponentially on the square root of effective isotope mass, consistent across 1D models and multidimensional quantum calculations.
