Three-dimensional covariance-map imaging of molecular structure and dynamics on the ultrafast timescale
Three-dimensional covariance-map imaging is a new technique with the potential for determining structures of gas-phase molecules on timescales fast enough to track chemical changes and record ‘molecular movies’ of chemical reactions.
Synthesis and versatile reactivity of scandium phosphinophosphinidene complexes
Due to the energy mismatching between the frontier orbitals of rare-earth metal and ligand atom, the rare-earth metal-phosphorus multiple bonds are very unstable. This Behind introduces our group’s struggling trip to the first rare-earth monometallic phosphinidene complex during the past 10 years.
Site-selective electrooxidation of methylarenes to aromatic acetals
The C–H bond functionalization has achieved many accomplishments, however among various C–H functionalization reactions, the site-selective oxidation of multiple benzylic methyl C–H bond to aryl aldehydes is an industrially important transformation and yet remains highly challenging.
