Putting anion- π interactions at work for catalysis

This article shortly illustrates the emergence and development of this concept, aiming to provide an emphasis on the general concept and key progress in this exciting area. To highlight the essential contribution of anion-π interactions, the contents are organized according to their role engaged in catalytic process, e.g. from both ground-state and transition-state stabilization to solely transition-state stabilization, mainly by a single π-face, and to cooperative π-face activation. A concluding remark and outlook on future development of this field is also given.PMID:34658085 | DOI:10.1002/chem.202103303
