Abstract: Molybdenum alkylidyne complexes of the “canopy catalyst” series define new standards in the field of alkyne metathesis. The tripodal ligand framework lowers the symmetry of the metallacyclobutadiene complex formed by [2 + 2] cycloaddition with… read more here.

Abstract: Vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecular vibrations and microcavity photons yields a few polaritons (light-matter modes) and many dark modes (with negligible photonic character). Although VSC is reported to alter thermally activated chemical reactions, its… read more here.
