When molecules are coupled to an optical cavity, new light–matter hybrid states, so-called
polaritons, are formed due to quantum light–matter interactions. With the experimental …

Reaction-rate modifications for chemical processes due to strong coupling between reactant
molecular vibrations and the cavity vacuum have been reported; however, no currently …

Experimental studies indicate that optical cavities can affect chemical reactions through
either vibrational or electronic strong coupling and the quantized cavity modes. However …

Polariton chemistry has emerged as an appealing branch of synthetic chemistry that
promises mode selectivity and a cleaner approach to kinetic control. Of particular interest are …

Polaritonic chemistry is emerging as a powerful approach to modifying the properties and
