A data-driven and quantum chemistry-anchored framework for modeling and classifying carbon–lithium bonding in organolithium aggregates
We present a quantum chemistry-based, data-driven framework for the automated classification of carbon–lithium bonding motifs in archetypal organolithium aggregates. Starting from …
Hydrogen-bond-assisted Chalcogen Transfer Between Phosphine Selenides and Arsine Oxides
The Brønsted acid catalysis is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods for activating inert substrates and enabling unique reactivity. In this work, we introduce the …

A Precise Synthetic Toolbox: H-Bond-Assisted Quadruple Reactivity of o-Dimethylaminoaryloximes
It has been shown that azomethines, hydrazones, and oximes derived from 2(7)-carbonyl derivatives of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene can undergo acid-catalyzed heterocyclization …
Flipping the Metalation of 4-Dimethylaminopyridine: Steric Repulsion versus London Dispersion Attraction
It has been shown that azomethines, hydrazones, and oximes derived from 2(7)-carbonyl derivatives of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene can undergo acid-catalyzed heterocyclization …
Phosphine Selenides: Versatile NMR Probes for Analyzing Hydrogen OH···Se and Halogen I···Se Bonds
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying the structure and dynamics of various non-covalent interactions. However, often spectral parameters …
