Testing Chemical Bond Theories with Quantum Crystallography
Can we see the chemical bonds? The chemical bond is not a quantum mechanical observable. The sticks linking spheres (atoms) in experimental crystal... -
The role of halogens in Au–S bond cleavage for energy-differentiated catalysis at the single-bond limit
The transformation from one compound to another involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds at the single-bond level, especially during...
