The cobalt-mediated cycloaddition with γ-alkylidenebutenolide diverges dramatically from what is expected, leading to unprecedented polycyclic scaffold cobalt(iii)-complexes. The mechanism of this reaction has been studied by DFT calculations.
In article e25914, Yannick Carissan and colleagues discuss pseudopotentials developed for sp 2 -hybridized carbon units. The cover image represents the use of pseudopotentials to study the charge transfer between a coronene moiety and the nanotube in which it is embedded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
