Four seemingly simple transformations related to the chemistry of methane will be
addressed from mechanistic and conceptual points of view: 1) metal‐mediated …

Relativistic effects can strongly influence the chemical and physical properties of heavy
elements and their compounds. This influence has been noted in inorganic chemistry …

When non-mass spectrometrists are talking about mass spectrometry it rather often sounds
as if they were telling a story out of Poe's Tales of Mystery and Imagi-tion. Indeed, mass …

Gas‐phase experiments with state‐of‐the‐art techniques of mass spectrometry provide
detailed insights into numerous elementary processes. The focus of this Review is on …

The Account discusses the phenomenon of two-state reactivity (TSR) or multistate reactivity
(MSR) in high-valent metal–oxo reagents, projecting its wide-ranging applicability starting …

The importance of the selective activation of alkanes for science and technology in the
forthcoming decades does not need to be explicitly pointed out in this thematic issue of …

Abstract Hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT), as one of the fundamental reactions in chemistry, is
investigated with state‐of‐the‐art gas‐phase experiments in conjunction with computational …

Many chemical reactions involve a change in spin-state and are formally forbidden. This
article summarises a number of previously published applications showing that a form of …

Reactivity principles based on orbital overlap and bonding/antibonding interactions are well
established to describe the reactivity of organic species, and atomic structures are typically …

Enzymatic reactions that involve C–H bond activation of alkanes by high-valent iron–oxo
species can be explained by the rebound mechanism (RM). Hydroxylation reactions of …
