Specifically, the team from ORNL's Chemical Sciences Division investigated a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction, known as S N 2.

At the air-water interface, a negatively charged amino acid carries out a nucleophile attack on a gas molecule to convert it into a product. The ...

Ruben Amorim says Alejandro Garnacho will pay for a team dinner by way of an apology after the Manchester United winger’s reaction to being substituted against Ipswich Town. Garnacho was ...

Consequently, F can instead be replaced by nucleophile, but the selectivity of the nucleophilic substitution reaction remains a great challenge. KOH was thus utilized to react FGi by controlling the ...

The origin of the alpha effect, which gives some nucleophiles unusually high reactivity in substitution reactions, is one of chemistry’s unsolved mysteries. Now, computational chemists have uncovered ...

Researchers in the UK and Sweden have combined density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning to develop a method that accurately predicts the kinetics of nucleophilic aromatic substitution ...

An electric field could make an unlikely nucleophilic substitution reaction feasible by fixing the reactants in place and lowering the reaction energy barrier, according to a theoretical study (J ...
