COVER PICTURE: Interactions of Carbenes with Coinage Metal Surfaces: An Electrophilic Reactive Carbene vs. a Nucleophilic Stable Carbene

J. Org. Chem.: RESOLV member, Prof. Elsa Sánchez-Garcia examines and compares the interactions between two different carbenes with coinage metal surfaces. Carbenes being key intermediates serve an important role in many chemical applications. In this study, the group computationally investigates cyclopentadienylidene (CP), an electrophilic reactive carbene, and it's structurally analogous…
