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 …

In recent years, external electric fields (EEFs) have captured some spotlight as novel
effectors of chemical change. EEFs directly impact the structure of molecular systems. For …

Here, we discuss that unlike bond dissociation energy (BDE) that is a state function quantity,
the energy components of the energy decomposition analysis (EDA), ie electrostatic …

This report focuses on the remote control of anion− π catalysis by electric fields. We have
synthesized and immobilized anion− π catalysts to explore the addition reaction of malonic …

Hole interactions are known by different names depending on the key atom of the bond
(halogen bond, chalcogen bond, hydrogen bond, etc.), and the geometry of the interaction (σ …

The vision to control the charges migrating during reactions with external electric fields is
attractive because of the promise of general catalysis, emergent properties, and …

Employing multiscale in silico modeling, we propose switching molecular diodes on the
basis of endohedral fullerenes (fullerene switching diode, FSD), encapsulated with polar …

This theoretical study establishes ways of controlling and enabling an uncommon chemical
reaction, the displacement reaction, B:---(X—Y)→(B—X)++: Y–, which is nascent from a B …

Oriented external electric fields (OEEFs) are potent effectors of chemical change and control.
We show that the Menshutkin reaction, between substituted pyridines and methyl iodide, can …

The design and synthesis of molecular nanoswitches using organic molecules represent a
crucial research field within molecular electronics. To understand the switching …
