  • Little is known about how the identity of a leaving group affects the dynamics of a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. A study of the reaction of F− with CH3Cl, and comparison to its reaction with CH3I, now reveals key insights into such effects, with reactant orientation considered a key factor in understanding the behaviour observed.

  • The deformation style at moderately active volcanoes — such as Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland, which underwent an explosive summit eruption earlier this year — is little understood. These authors show that deformation associated with the eruptions at Eyjafjallajökull was unusual as it did not relate to pressure changes within a single magma chamber, and infer that this behaviour might be attributed to its off-rift setting with a 'cold' subsurface structure and limited magma at shallow depth.

  • As the number of atoms involved in a reaction increases, so do the experimental and theoretical challenges faced when studying their dynamics. Now, using ion-imaging experiments and quasi-classical trajectory simulations, the dynamics of the polyatomic reaction F– + CH3CH2Cl have been studied and the competition between bimolecular nucleophilic substitution and base-induced elimination has been disentangled.

  • The competition between chemical reactions critically affects our natural environment and the synthesis of new materials. Here, the authors present an approach to directly image distinct fingerprints of essential organic reactions and monitor their competition as a function of steric substitution.
