Oxy substituent effects quantified in Macromolecules paper
Congratulations to Yixin, Tatiana, and team! Their paper “Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy Studies of Oxy Substituent Effects on the Reactivity of gem-Dihalocyclopropane Mechanophores” has been published in Macromolecules. In the paper, single molecule force spectroscopy approaches are used to quantify the force-coupled reactivity of the various oxy-substituted gem-dichloro- and gem-difluorocyclopropanes that have proven to be so interesting in terms of their reactivity and utility.
