Oriented internal electrostatic fields: an emerging design element in coordination chemistry and catalysis
Alexander B. Weberg, Ryan P. Murphy, Neil C. Tomson
Abstract
a method that is orthogonal to traditional strategies, thereby providing possibilities for improved catalytic conditions and novel reactivity. In this perspective, we highlight recent developments in this area and offer insights, obtained from our own research, on the challenges and future directions of this emerging field of research.
