Abstract In polymer mechanochemistry, mechanosensitive molecules (mechanophores) are activated upon elongation of anchored arms. The reactivity a mechanophore can be influenced by variety structural factors, including the geometry attachment arms and nature eventual substituents. Here we investigate stereoelectronic effects in force-accelerated Diels–Alder reactions using CoGEF (Constrained Geo...

This research has demonstrated the utility of a rigorously calibrated, molecular mechanics/semiempirical quantum mechanical protocol for developing stereoelectronic (Tolman) maps for phosphine ligands. A computational analysis of alkyl and aryl phosphines in common usage suggests that these ligands are quite similar stereoelectronically. A noticeable gap in the Tolman map for common phosphines ...
