Periodic Reporting for period 4 - XBCBCAT (From Supramolecular Chemistry to Organocatalysis: Fundamental Studies on the Use of Little-Explored Non-Covalent Interactions in Organic Synthesis)

Hydrogen bonds are crucial for various processes of life. Mimicking nature, generations of chemists have used hydrogen bonds in many fields of chemistry, including catalysis. Parallel to simple activation, the catalyst may also create a special spatial environment around the...
