Helical versus linear Jahn-Teller distortions in allene and spiropentadiene radical cations

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Marc Hamilton Folkmann Garner

The allene radical cation can be stabilized both by Jahn-Teller distortion of the bond lengths and by torsion of the end-groups. However, only the latter happens and the allene radical cation relaxes into a twisted D-2 symmetry structure with equal double- ...

Mapping Active Site Geometry to Activity in Immobilized Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Shubhajit Das, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...

Harvesting the fragment-based nature of bifunctional organocatalysts to enhance their activity

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Simone Gallarati

Bifunctional hydrogen-bond donors/amines are commonly encountered organocatalysts in asymmetric synthesis. Existing computational tools do not take full advantage of their modularity to suggest tailored designs because they generally rely on evaluating the ...

Constructing and interpreting volcano plots and activity maps to navigate homogeneous catalyst landscapes

Matthew Wodrich, Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Shubhajit Das

Volcano plots and activity maps are powerful tools for studying homogeneous catalysis. Once constructed, they can be used to estimate and predict the performance of a catalyst from one or more descriptor variables. The relevance and utility of these tools ...
