Molecular Rotors as Reactivity Probes: Predicting Electrophilicity from the Speed of Rotation Open
A new empirical electrophilicity reactivity parameter, E RB , was developed based on the rotational barriers of a series of N ‐phenylimide molecular rotors containing various electrophilic groups. In the bond rotation transition state, the…

Exploring Secondary Electrostatic Interactions Using Molecular Rotors: Implications for S<sub>N</sub>2 Reactions Open
Benzylic and allylic electrophiles are well known to react faster in S N 2 reactions than aliphatic electrophiles, but the origins of this enhanced reactivity are still being debated. Galabov, Wu, and Allen recently proposed that electrost…

Pnictogen Interactions with Nitrogen Acceptors Open
Stabilizing nitrogen pnictogen bond interactions were measured using molecular rotors. Intramolecular C=O⋅⋅⋅N interactions were formed in the bond rotation transition states which lowered the rotational barriers and increased the rates of …
