Draw a Lewis formula for the base in the given Lewis acid-base reaction. I2+I−⟶I3− Lewis Base: A reaction involving the donation of the electron to an electron-deficient species is a Lewis acid-base reaction. These reactions involve electrophilic and nucleop...
TTI, nanoparticle-based TTI, electronic TTI, etc. [34,35]. The enzymatic TTI operates on the basis of a hydrolysis reaction involving an enzyme and its substrate, resulting in a colour change [36]. This colour change can be calibrated by considering various parameters, such as the enzyme ty...
The theoretical background of OB relies on orbital expansion effects that reveal the chemical bonding nature between a Lewis acid-base pair. Generally, the oxygen behaves as Lewis’s base, whilst the metal ions as Lewis’s acids. The concept of OB pertains to the reactivity of oxygen atoms ...
Mechanistically, the reactions catalysed by all cellulases are suggested to involve general acid–base catalysis by a carboxylate pair at the enzyme active site, though different in structure [46]. One residue acts as a general acid and protonates the oxygen of the o-glycosidic bond; at the sa...
When six equivalents of TMPO was added to a reaction run under the reaction conditions, 53% of 2a and 5% of 3a were still obtained, which suggested that this reaction probably did not involve any radical species (eq. (4)). Moreover, two control experiments showed that both Lewis acid Pb...

Autonomous reaction network exploration algorithms offer a systematic approach to explore mechanisms of complex chemical processes. However, the resulting reaction networks are so vast that an exploration of all potentially accessible intermediates is co
Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that play an essential role in linking the innate and adaptive immune systems. Much research has focused on the signaling pathways triggered upon infection of dendritic cells by various pathogens. The high lev
As expected, complex 10a transforms into 10 in presence of excess of base (KOtBu) and two equivalents oxidizing agent [Cp*2Fe](BF4). In the presence of isopropanol, 10 reacts to 10a with the concomitant formation of acetone. Running this reaction under electrocatalytic conditions produces ...
In current low temperature amine/borane chemistry, Lewis acid-Lewis base interactions dominate almost all of the known reaction chemistry of amines with boranes. The strength of the Lewis acid-Lewis base bond drives aminoboranes to form volatile tricyclomeric complexes or intractable polymers. Low ...
