Furthermore, regularly aligned electron-deficient species in nanospace are of potential use in selective adsorption for nucleophilic molecules and various topologically controlled chemical reactions.

Nucleophilic reactivity and electrophilicity are fundamental concepts in organic chemistry that describe how molecules interact during chemical reactions. Nucleophiles are species that donate an ...

This opens up new possibilities for creating complex, valuable molecules with better environmental ... Engineered enzymes for enantioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitutions, Nature (2025).

This ‘hub’ molecule was first reported in 1902 and has four replaceable fluoride sites for nucleophilic ‘plug-ins’, which allows for complex molecules to be assembled by a 3D connector. Through ...
