Almost would have given up when the computationally predicted selectivies just wouldn't want to explain the experimental observation... Glad to have eventually solved it... Check out the OA publication if you are interested in how we overcame the issues. doi.org/10.1002/anie...

Elucidating Ligand‐Dependent Selectivities in Pd‐Catalyzed C–H Activations

Strategies to understand ligand effects on regioselectivities of C–H activation processes were investigated using an alkynylation of thiophenes as a model system. The results shed light on the role o....

Dynamically chiral phosphonic acid-type metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors - Communications Chemistry

Metallo-β-lactamases dismantle most β-lactam antibiotics and cause antibiotic resistance, however, no metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors are clinically available. Here, the authors report stereodynamicall...
