Sulfur and selenium occupy a unique position at the interface of inorganic chemistry, redox chemistry, and biology, where changes in oxidation state, speciation, and metal coordination can profoundly alter reactivity. Understanding the fundamental chemistry of reactive S and Se species therefore provides a framework for connecting molecular structure and bonding ...
In 1981, Roald Hoffmann and Kenichi Fukui shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for their theories, developed independently, concerning the course of chemical reactions”. Had R. B. Woodward (1917 - 1979) lived two years longer, he would surely have received his second Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his contributions to ...
Nearly all energy conversion and information processing technologies rely on charge and spin transport in systems that are far from equilibrium. The goal to understand and control these processes motivates the need to develop methods to probe the underlying electron dynamics in functional materials on the relevant scales of time ...
