Develo** new materials is a long-standing goal that extends across the fields of synthesis,
catalysis, nanotechnology and materials science. Transforming one compound or material …

This is a tutorial on use of external-electric-fields (EEFs) as effectors of chemical change.
The tutorial instructs readers how to conceptualize and design electric-field effects on bonds …

Oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) as' smart reagents' are no longer a theoretical
dream. Here, we discuss the wide-ranging potential of using OEEFs to catalyse and control …

Static electricity is central to many day-to-day practical technologies, from separation
methods in the recycling of plastics to transfer inks in photocopying, but the exploration of …

Disorder in redox-active monolayers convolutes electrochemical characterization. This
disorder can come from pinhole defects, loose packing, heterogeneous distribution of redox …

Alkoxyamines are heat-labile molecules, widely used as an in situ source of nitroxides in
polymer and materials sciences. Here we show that the one-electron oxidation of an …

Herein we demonstrate that ionic liquids can form long-lived double layers, generating
electric fields detectable by straightforward open circuit potential (OCP) measurements. In …

The power of oriented electrostatic fields (ESFs) to influence chemical bonding and reactivity
is a phenomenon of rapidly growing interest. The presence of strong ESFs has recently …
