  • Intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a process whereby a photoexcited molecule relaxes while ionizing a neighbouring molecule. ICD is efficient when intermolecular interactions are active and consequently it is usually observed in weakly bound systems. Now, an efficient ICD is shown to occur even between unbound pyridine molecules excited at ambient-light intensities.

  • Bond activation through resonant electron capture into a σ* orbital could facilitate chemical control, but the associated cross section is low. Here, the authors report the direct capture of a low-energy free electron into the σ* orbital to enable defunctionalization and dehydrogenation reactions via bond selectivity.

  • Shortwave UV photons and very low energy electrons (vLEEs) are thought to be unfavorable prebiotic conditions on early Earth which can destroy unstable molecules. Here, the authors propose that nucleobases in their complementary pairs can enhance and consolidate the intrinsic stability of nucleobases against shortwave UV photons and vLEEs and promote their proliferation.
